The Awakening Lyrics & Chords By James Morrison

I haven't felt this awake in years
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
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

And I have been waiting
For this wakening for so long, so long
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

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
Make a wish to be where you are
Underneath your glow is where I'll stay

The only place I going to be
Is right here with you next to me

And I have been waiting
For this wakening for so long, for so long
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, yes, it is

I've been waiting here for so long, so long, so long
I've been waiting here for so long, so long
So long, so long, so long

And 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

And I have been waiting
For this wakening for so long, for so long
Gotta get a little light inside
And I'm here holding out
For just one thing and it's your love
It makes everything feel alright

I said I've been here for so long
For so long, for so long
I been for so long, so, so long, so, so
