At the mercy of the nations, Beneath the shade of their trees, Till we’ve overstayed our welcome They remind us where we should be. (repeat chorus) Sleepytown is not my home. I know that I can’t stay. Years in thousands come and gone. Won’t You bring us home today? Since the word of creation, Wheels in motion brought us here. Days are coming for our nation, We need redemption now and here. Sleepytown is coming round Stretching arms up to the sky. Day is here, come dry your tears, Slumber slipping from our eyes.
