The Awakening Songtext
von James Morrison

I haven′t felt this awake in years
Too busy drying my tears
To feel the sun 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 the truth I′d never ever known
The truth has been here all this time
The only one who couldn't see was me

And I've been waiting for this awakening for so long, so long
Got to get a little light inside
And I′ve been holding out for just one thing
And it′s your love, your love
That makes everything feel alright


I was slowly, slowly dying, slowly dying
It's like the first day I′m alive
Flow through me like summer breeze
Put my twisted mind at ease
All the troubles of the world just drift away

Jump out like a shooting star
Make a wish to be where you are
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′ve been waiting for this awakening for so long, so long
Got to get a little light inside
And I've been holding out for just one thing
And it′s your love
That makes everything feel alright
I was slowly, slowly dying, slowly dying
It's like the first day I'm alive

And I walked across the line alone
To find the truth I′d never ever known
The truth has been here all this time
The only one who couldn′t see was me


And I've been waiting for this awakening for so long, so long
Got to get a little light inside
And I′ve been holding out for just one thing
And it's your love
