The Awakening

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 --- The Awakening - James Morrison
