Awakening

I wrote this song during summer 2017, the original Finnish version with a female vocalist was selected as the song of the week on a local musicians' forum. I hope I haven't ruined it with my singing in this new English version wink BIAB provided a great mix of modern instruments once more.

Lyrics:

Awakening

Sitting on a stone
watching restless waves around me
only few on my life's sea
could have calmed down its sway
most people have just sailed away.

Lying on the rocks
I hear the rhythm of the hard hail
hardly ever drummed for my tale
same feelings beat for years
yet most people have just closed their ears.

The cold of dawn
I felt on my skin
You took off the blanket
my heart was hiding in.
You woke me up in this beautiful den
even if a storm broke,
I would live it once again
wake me up one more time to the beautiful world
wake me up one more time to the beautiful world.

Standing in the wind
wishing for a soft ascension
someone freed the bow from tension
stayed until the morning breeze
in her company, I would be feeling ease.

The cold of dawn...

Body's awakened, bare and serene
mirroring your image on its sheen
blessed free mind soars from the reeds
I'm still a tender slender tree.

wake me up one more time to the beautiful world
wake me up one more time to the beautiful world.
