It ain't black but it ain't white

It ain't darkness, no, no, but it ain't light

It ain't cool but it ain't hot

No, it's something it should be but I know it's not.



Chorus:

'Cause we are comfortable here in our slumber

Lullabyed by the heartbeat of God

But we can't be alive in His number

While living in the land of Nod.



So we lie down by the light of the lamp

Unaware that there's evil in our camp

And we snooze and we snore

And sometimes it's so loud that we can't hear the lion roar.



Chorus:

'Cause we are comfortable here in our slumber

Lullabyed by the heartbeat of God

But we can't be alive in His number

While living in the land of Nod.



Shake it up, wake it up, turn on the light

We've been asleep for too long

Souls have been rusted and hearts have been turning to stone

Oh, where did we go wrong?



It ain't black but it ain't white

It ain't darkness, no, no, but it ain't light

It ain't cool but it ain't hot

No, it's something it should be but I know it's not.



Chorus:

'Cause we are comfortable here in our slumber

Lullabyed by the heartbeat of God

But we can't be alive in His number

While living in the land of Nod...
