Awake
7.0 Lyrics

One drop, it trickles in
Hope is emerging, gradually, like a droplet of water, slowly but surely

Holding Hope like a daughter
Protecting Hope with intense care because it is important and valuable, like a child

I smell it one the summer wind
Sensory perception is heightened - smelling the scent of hope through the warm summer wind

I see it in the water
Hope is reflected in things in nature, like water

Bread and body over wine
Referencing the Christian tradition of the Eucharist, represents a desire for spiritual sustenance

Breathing out your alibis
Rejecting excuses and falsehoods one has believed to avoid facing harsh realities

To ignore we're running out of time
Despite feeling time is running out, some seek comfort in denial and complacency

So slip into your feather bed
Retreat into the comfort of one's own denial, hoping for a blissful escape

And dream of truths you never said
Imagining a false reality where one's shortcomings and failures are hidden

Nothing left, you stripped me bare
Feeling completely exposed, without any remaining false pretenses or illusions

Standing here in the thinning air
The honesty of the present moment can be suffocating and uncomfortable

Well, my clarion call calls every people
Urging everyone to hear a message, a call to action or self-reflection

Tell me now, who do we spare?
Questioning who is to blame for the current state of affairs or who deserves mercy in difficult times

We're wide awake now
Realization has occurred and action is needed

We're wide awake
Awareness has been achieved and cannot be ignored
