  • 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 Writer/s: ED WILSON, MOSBY GERRY
