Waking

I've been sitting here thinking What's my purpose? What's the meaning? And all the world just passed me in the night As my body lies, weakened, pins and needles Wake me, I'm dreaming And the blood began to push me back to life My life, my truth It's all I have to give, I gave to you To be yourself To see yourself To see the world is to wake brand new Oh-oh, oh Do you hate yourself? Break yourself? Mistake yourself for the things that they say? For the things that they do If you give a little bit You get a little bit For you Whoa, oh-oh So give a little bit Give a little bit Give a little bit Give a little of you You know it's the truth You know, my words have been a shield for all my life I sang a swan it gave me wings to fly And in the absence of an echo, ego dies And in the absence of myself, I came to find My life, my truth It's all I have to give I gave to you To be yourself To see yourself To see the world is to wake brand new Oh-oh, oh Do you hate yourself? Mistake yourself? Break yourself for the things that they do? What did they do to you? If you give a little bit You get a little bit For you Whoa, oh-oh So give a little bit Give a little bit Give a little bit Give a little of you --- Waking - Future Islands
