Son of man, why do you slumber? Come and present words of petition.
Pour out conversation, seek forgiveness, from the Master of Masters.
Wash and purify, do not tarry, for the days will soon pass
And soon, seek assistance from the One who dwells on high.
[Bridge]
Son of man, why do you slumber? Come and present words of petition.
(Son of man, why do you slumber? Come and present words of petition.)
Pour out conversation, seek forgiveness, from the Master of Masters.
(Pour out conversation, seek forgiveness, from the Master of Masters.)
For Yours, God, is justice, and for ours is shame.
[Bridge]
Son of man, why do you slumber?
