Awake My Body
Alexander Lyrics

Hey mama, eh mama, eh mama, hey
Calling out to the spirit, motherly and protective, acknowledging the feminine energy

Body
Addressing his physical self, the earthly container that holds his spirit

Awake my body.
Wishing to awaken his body to the spiritual presence of the world around him

You can't turn your cheek,
One cannot ignore the realities of the world

When you're falling asleep,
When one becomes complacent or numb to their surroundings

And you're cold,
When one becomes disconnected and isolated from others and the world

Awake my body.
Motivation to reawaken his body and spirit to the world

They took me to the station,
Referencing a personal experience of being detained by the authorities

Dropped me on my knees
Feeling powerless and humiliated

Ask me my vocation,
Questions about his purpose, intentions and identity

I'll tell you if you please.
A willingness to share his story and truth

I trained my toes in typing,
A reference to mundane work in a corporate environment

Specializing in concrete,
Monotonous and unfulfilling work

A day you won't believe just happened,
Alluding to a transformative and life-changing event

I heard a voice that came to me,
A mystical experience, possibly spiritual or divine

It said "my body, my toes,
The message that speaks of the interconnectedness of everything

My heart, my skin, my nose,
Every part of the body has its purpose and place in the world

My organs for you to play"
Encourages the artist to tap into his creativity and to use his gifts to create art

I believe believer will lead to healer
Faith is the source of healing, and belief in oneself and in the power of the universe can lead to transformative change.

Yes, now we have all our faith,
The moment when belief and faith are restored and reinforced

Come on, take me..
Asking the listener to join him on his journey of self-discovery and healing

All the way.
A commitment to follow this new path fully

Don't hide my eyes,
A plea for transparency and openness

I wanna see.
Desire to be aware and informed about the world

Don't hide my ears,
Asking to hear the truth, good or bad

I wanna hear.
Willingness to listen and learn from others and the world around them

Don't hide my tongue,
Refusal to be silenced or censored

From anyone,
Non-discrimination in sharing the truth

I wanna tell, heaven and hell.
Willingness to openly share experiences, even those of extraordinary or supernatural nature

I won't hide my heart,
Refusal to hide emotions and vulnerabilities

It won't break apart.
Inner strength to withstand pain and heartbreak

I know they'll be sharing,
Belief in the interconnectedness of all beings and the universal experience of life

They'll be sharing all the way (all the way)
The way of life will continue to be experienced and shared endlessly, from the beginning to the end.
