The Awakening

So many years of reaching out for words unspoken So many nights of saving love for no-one there So many hearts that break when promises are broken How long before you find the answer to your prayer It's the awakening... It's the awakening... How high the road that leads us on from Sweet Surrender How soft the wind that waits to speed us on our way How young and foolish were we still to be pretending That we could make our love grow any other way It's the awakening (Tonight you see her with different eyes) It's the awakening (Tonight you know where your happiness lies) (Chorus) And if you're looking for the answers to your questions Look inside And if you're wondering why your heart is always restless Look inside Could you and I forget the times when we were strangers When all the beauty that we shared was swept away When every avenue we walked would lead to nowhere Could you and I forget the tears of yesterday It's the awakening (And you can leave all the sadness behind) It's the awakening (And now you're ready to find peace of mind) It's the awakening. (Chorus) And if you're looking for the answers to your questions Look inside And if you're wondering why your heart is always restless Look inside It's the awakening And you can dry all the tears from your eyes It's the awakening And you don't have to invent a disguise It's the awakening Tonight you know where your happiness lies It's the awakening The sun is up and the future is bright (gd/naas --- The Awakening - Paul Brady
