lyrics

Waking Up (C D A B)
I’ve been alive awhile
I’ve been in love and I
I’ve been around the world
I’ve been a friend to many boys and girls
and all this time
I’m waking up
it’s not the sound I thought it would make

I’ve been a silent witness
I’ve been a vocal catalyst
I’ve been a seeker of experience
I’ve rested comfortably in darkness
and all this time
I’m waking up
it’s not the sound I thought it would make

I’ve walked around aware
I’ve smiled at condescending stares
I’ve hid myself from my choices
I’ve choked as I accept the consequences
and all this time
I’m waking up
it’s not the sound I thought it would make

I turned down a promise with a golden ring
I cried over many petty things
I spoke my mind spoke my mind when it’s embarrassing
I clenched my fears and I began to sing
and all this time
I’m waking up
it’s not the sound I thought it would make

I’ve been alive awhile
I’ve been in love and I
I’m not afraid to die
and I can hold my head up high
as I
I’m waking up
it’s not the sound I thought it would make
