Awakenings

my pride had been blinding me
my eyes opened in time to see
my heart overflow with light
our lives begin anew this night
the dawn is breaking open
awakened at last, these eyes finally see
that there is so much more
than this anger within me
a heart filled with love
leads to a life filled with peace
our days are long and getting longer
our hope burns bright and is growing stronger
our fears are cast far from sight
our lives begin anew this night
the dawn is breaking open
awakened at last, my face turns to the sky
there is so much more
than this anger between us
a heart filled with truth
will conquer a mind filled with lies
And this, is beautiful
rise,throw back the sheets of this slumber
and rise,throw back the sheets,
shake off the sleep and rise,
awakened
too many days lost this slumber
awakened, too many lost too many gone
awakened, throw back the sheets,
shake off the sleep and rise.
what fist dries the tears
