Waking Up
[Verse 1]
Neighbour can you help me, could you take the weight from me?
Before I could you’re gonna have to wanna put it down
I’d put the pain down, I’m afraid I won’t see mercy
Teach me the song the new morning sings
[Verse 2]
Sister don’t berate me, don’t forsake me, i’m a sinner
I just hid the way they taught me to do
Hanging in there, the line was thin and getting thinner
The lies that kept me here were wearing through
[Chorus]
I can raise my voice
Nowhere to hide
It don’t come easily to me
Out stone cold
Coming back to life
I’m waking up inside in the dream
[Verse 3]
Love for you oh brother true it changes by the minute
Burns out and it fails, sputters like a windblown flame
A shot of poison is the choice of not forgiving
In the gilded cage, the shadow play
[Chorus]
Raise your voice
Be sanctified
May that come easily for you
Bought and sold
Half alive
I’m waking up inside the dream
[Outro]
Who are you? I’m coming to believe
I’m waking up inside in the dream (Am)
Who are you? Yr just a go-between
I’m waking up inside in the dream
I’m waking up inside in the dream
