A Hero comes from the wilderness to cry out to the captives, pleading for them to awaken. This short film from Whitestone was in part inspired by “Plato’s Cave” and depicts the struggle of freeing the captives, whomever they may be. This film is set to the song by the same name originally written for this film by the talented Wright Brothers: Nicholas Kirk and Billy Wilkerson.

Awake! O Sleeper

(Kirk/Wilkerson)

Oh Abraham would raise his hands
And mourn this very day
For his children left the promised land
In search of their own way
They kick and scream like wayward sons
Always wanting to sleep
And dream away these evil days
In hopes that God can’t see

There are chains upon your children Lord
Chains upon your children
There are chains upon your children
We’re in chains

Do you hear the lion roar?
Awake O’ Sleeper
Stand with me well fight the war
Awake O’ Sleeper

Your suffering will come again
And never fall away
For we trade our many comforts
Like the one who bled for grace
There will come a day my God will come
And put me in my place
My God I pray, You’ll call my name
Instead of turn away

Let no man bring me harm
I bear the marks of Jesus
Let no man bring me harm
I bear the marks of the Lord
