Tonight, out in the garden,
A friend is wrapped in prayer
While I lie near by sleeping
As if I didn’t care
The burden of a sinful world
Will settle on his head
While I lie near by sleeping
Not lending strength instead
They’ll rend and break his body
They’ll tear at mind and soul
While I lie near by sleeping
My body safe and whole
He faces what is coming
Though he prays it might pass
While I lie near by sleeping
In the fragrant grass
Why am I still fast asleep
While he prays on alone
And when they come to take him
How, then, will I atone
Wake up, Wake up! Stay awake!
I cry out in my sleep
But I doze on while he prays…
Tomorrow I will weep
