Lyrics
The 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.
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
