Awakening

By chance of fate, I came up with three beautiful songs of my favorite artists with the same title. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Awakening by Mae

When I close my eyes to this paradox place
I'll fly away, far away from here
I'll get away and dream, dream of you

When it's all said and done
And the night has come
I'll disappear, take flight on the wind of wishing you were here
Fading light, like a star whose life has been gone for years

And I'll fly, fly across the sky
And I'll leave, I'll leave it all behind
If you'll be here, here with me tonight
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I'll be fine

Then I'll disappear, take flight on the wind of wishing you were here
Fading light, like a star whose life has been gone for years

And I'll fly, fly across the sky
And I'll leave, I'll leave it all behind
If you'll be here, here with me tonight
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I'll be fine


Awakening by Switchfoot


Face down with the LA curbside endings
With the ones and zeros.
Downtown was the perfect place to hide.
The first star that I saw last night was a headlight
Of a man-made sky, but man- made never made our dreams collide,
Collide.

Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,
We're awakening
Here we are now with our desperate youth and the pain,
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition, you've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, we're awakening

Last week found me living for nothing but deadlines,
With my dead beat sky but, this town doesn't look the same tonight
These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere
And in all my life I don't know that I ever felt so alive,
Alive

I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to know that my heart's still beating
It's beating,
I'm bleeding
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to live like I know what I'm leaving
I want to know that my heart's still beating
It's beating... it's beating...
I'm bleeding


Awakening by Chris Tomlin


In our hearts Lord, in this nation awakening,
Holy Spirit we desire awakening,

For You & You alone, awake my soul, awake my soul & sing,
For the world You love, Your will be done, let Your will be done in me,

In Your presence, in Your power, awakening,
For this moment, for this hour, awakening,

Like the rising sun that… shines, from the darkness comes a light,
I hear Your voice & this is my awakening

Like the rising sun that shines, awake my soul, awake my soul & sing,
From the darkness comes a light, awake my soul, awake my soul & sing,
Like the rising sun that shines, awake my soul, awake my soul & sing,
Only You can raise a life, awake my soul, awake my soul & sing
