the awakening

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 was there all this time, the only one who couldn't see was me, 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, 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, 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, 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'd never ever known, the truth was there all this time, the only one who couldn't see was me, 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, makes everything feel alright
