Awake Songtext
von Peter Mayer

Clouds are swift
Rocks are ancient
Mountains are high
Oceans grey
Winds are restless
Trees are patient

You my child
Are awake

Waves are crashing
Rivers churning
Planets twirling
Stars ablaze
Storms are raging
Atoms whirling

You my child
Are awake


To perceive these wondrous things
To count the beats of a blackbird′s wings
To tell a story
And dance and sing
All the splendors of creation
Are very happy that you came
Because they needed someone to see them

You my child
Are awake

To perceive these wondrous things
To count the beats of a blackbird's wings
To tell a story
And dance and sing

Seeds are hopeful
Dewdrops fleeting
Oak trees crooked
Redwoods straight

They are not known to the sleeping

You my child
Are awake

You my child
Are awake
You my child
