Lyrics

Awakening

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

In the awakening, in the awakening

I will shoulder my troubles and

harness my ride

In the awakening, in the awakening

I'll roll nothin' but doubles,

sevens and nines

In the awakening, in the awakening

I will lick my wounds, I will kiss the sky

In the awakening, in the awakening

I will kick the shoulds, I will not ask why

In the awakening, in the awakening

I will pray for nothing,

I will stay up 'til the end

In the awakening, in the awakening

I will say what I want to,

I will not make amends

In the awakening, in the awakening

I will honor the mistaken,

I will honor the truth

In the awakening, in the awakening

I will honor the forsaken,

I will not mourn my youth

In the awakening, in the awakening

I will not mourn my losses,

I will not mourn the dead

In the awakening, in the awakening

I will have no bosses,

I will not bow my head

In the awakening, in the awakening

I will want for nothing, I will give you a gift

In the awakening, in the awakening

I will always love you,

I will give you my kiss
