Now, some are not awake but stars are not asleep
A trumpet ought to play and start me on a dream
If I hear an unusual sound
or if some people start running around
change comes over me, like I’m finally free
I look to the east ’cause I want to see
the Judgment Day
The day is cold and gray and people act like sheep
Our blood gets sucked each day, this world is full of greed
If I get an original thought
it is a message that comes from the Lord
like a nice, warm breeze, something finally real
I look to the east ’cause I want to see
the Judgment Day
Because the LORD we’ll meet is a jealous God
and my every idol’s being taken away
as I’m tested, completely, by Lord Jesus
what I’d love to see is the Judgment Day
Another chilly day as parents sadly weep
The children still can play as tears are all that’s free
If one falls on the playground of life
they are not likely to fall from the sky
Child changed to a tear but blame’s far from me
I look to the east ’cause I want to see
the Judgment Day
Now, some are not that brave, or suckers, just like Eve
Instead, we’ve found God’s grace and stand in a small peace
When we hear the same negative scorn
know that God’s closer than ever before
Change is near complete, we can see, at least
I look to the east ’cause I want to see
the Judgment Day
