Paul Brady, Moya Brennan - The Awakening lyrics

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 wait's 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)

And if you're looking for the
Answer 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

And if you're looking for the
Answer to your questions look inside
And if your 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)
