Awakening

Woke in the morning to the cold embrace
The dirt on my back, the sun in my face
And for the first time my eyes could see
The endless sky spreading over me

And the clouds of that sinking monolith
Drew me in its single breath
And for the first time my heart could feel
The loosening of its strings of steel

I'll be out on the town
In all its fury and its sound
But I'll be with you
When tomorrow rolls around

So I moved up to Ole Yotslot's Bay
To drown my thoughts in its ruthless waves
But for the first time my ears could hear
The silent voice crystal clear

And I'll be out on the town
In all its fury and its sound
But I'll be with you
When tomorrow rolls around

So I stepped right out into the night
One last time in its fading light
For the first time my lips could taste
The sweet release of that last escape

And I'll be out on the town
In all its fury and its sound
But I'll be with you
When tomorrow rolls around
