The Awakening

(album: Primitive Dance - 1987)

So many years of reaching out for words unspoken
So many nights of saving love for no-one there
So many hearts that break when promises are broken
How long before you find the answer to your prayer?
It's the awakening
It's the awakening

How high the road that leads us on from sweet surrender
How soft the wind that waits to speed us on our way
How young and foolish were we still to be pretending
That we could make our love grow any other way

It's the awakening
(Tonight you see her with different eyes)
It's the awakening
(Tonight you know where your happiness lies)

And if you're looking for the answer to your questions
Look inside
And if you're wondering why your heart is always restless
Look inside

Could you and I forget the times when we were strangers?
When all the beauty that we shared was swept away
When every avenue we walked would lead to nowhere
Could you and I forget the tears of yesterday?

It's the awakening
(And you can leave all the sadness behind)
It's the awakening
(And now you're ready to find peace of mind)
It's the awakening

And if you're looking for the answer to your questions
Look inside
And if your wondering why your heart is always restless
Look inside

It's the awakening
(And you can dry all the tears from your eyes)
It's the awakening
(And you don't have to invent a disguise)
It's the awakening
(Tonight you know where your happiness lies)
It's the awakening
(The sun is up and the future is bright)
