James Morrison
The Awakening
Verse 1:
I haven't felt this awake in years
Was too busy drying my tears
To feel the sun was 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 a truth I'd never ever known
The truth has been here all this time
The only one who couldn't see was me

Chorus:
And I have been waiting for this awakening for so long, so long
I gotta get a little light inside
And I'm here holding out for just one thing
And it's your love, your love
It makes everything feel alright
I was slowly slowly dying, slowly dying
It's like the first day I'm alive

Verse 2:
Float through me like summer breeze
Put my twisted mind at ease
And all the troubles of the world just drift away
Jump out like a shooting star
I make a wish to be where you are
And underneath your glow is where I'll stay
The only place I want to be
Is right here with you next to me
Chorus:
And I have been waiting for this awakening for so long, so long
I gotta get a little light inside
And I'm here holding out for just one thing
And it's your love
Makes everything feel alright
I was slowly slowly dying, slowly dying
It's like the first day I'm alive

I've been awakening for so long, so long
I've been awakening for so long, so long
And I walked across the line alone
To find a truth I've never ever known
The truth was there all this time
The only one who couldn't see was me

Chorus:
And I have been waiting for this awakening for so long, so long
I gotta get a little light inside
And I'm here holding out for just one thing
And it's your love
Makes everything feel alright
