So many years of reaching out for words unspoken

So many nights of saving love for no-one there

So many hearts that break when promises are broken

How long before you find the answer to your prayer



It's the awakening... It's the awakening...



How high the road that leads us on from Sweet Surrender

How soft the wind that waits to speed us on our way

How young and foolish were we still to be pretending

That we could make our love grow any other way



It's the awakening (Tonight you see her with different eyes)

It's the awakening (Tonight you know where your happiness lies)



(Chorus)

And if you're looking for the answers to your questions

Look inside

And if you're wondering why your heart is always restless

Look inside



Could you and I forget the times when we were strangers

When all the beauty that we shared was swept away

When every avenue we walked would lead to nowhere

Could you and I forget the tears of yesterday



It's the awakening (And you can leave all the sadness behind)

It's the awakening (And now you're ready to find peace of mind)

It's the awakening.



(Chorus)

And if you're looking for the answers to your questions

Look inside

And if you're wondering why your heart is always restless

Look inside



It's the awakening

And you can dry all the tears from your eyes

It's the awakening

And you don't have to invent a disguise

It's the awakening

Tonight you know where your happiness lies

It's the awakening

The sun is up and the future is bright
