The Awakening lyrics

I haven’t felt this awake in years

Was too busy drying my tears

To feel the sun was shining on my skin

Locked up in my own cage

Filled up with a bitter rage

I couldn’t see the prison I was in

I walked across the line alone

To find a truth I’d never ever known

The truth was there all this time

The only one who couldn’t see was me

And I have been waiting for this awakening for so long, so long

I gotta get a little light inside

And I’m here holding out for just one thing

And it’s your love, your love

It makes everything feel alright

I was slowly slowly dying, slowly dying

It’s like the first day I’m alive

Float through me like summer breeze

Put my twisted mind at ease

And all the troubles of the world just drift away

Jump out like a shooting star

I make a wish to be where you are

And underneath your glow is where I’ll stay

The only place I want to be

Is right here with you next to me

And I have been waiting for this awakening for so long, so long

I gotta get a little light inside

And I’m here holding out for just one thing

And it’s your love, your love

Makes everything feel alright

I was slowly slowly dying, slowly dying

It’s like the first day I’m alive

I’ve been awakening for so long, so long

I’ve been awakening for so long, so long

And I walked across the line alone

To find a truth I’d never ever known

The truth was there all this time

The only one who couldn’t see was me

And I have been waiting for this awakening for so long, so long

I gotta get a little light inside

And I’m here holding out for just one thing

And it’s your love, your love

Makes everything feel alright
