"Wake Up Child" lyrics

Birdtalker & Joy Williams Lyrics

"Wake Up Child"

Wake up child, the summer's gone
Gotta fall in line, gotta stand tall
You've got to hide that glimmer you found
As you danced in the rainfall

Don't worry child, it was no dream
This mortal mind is a guilty thing
You're free to laugh with the giddy bird's call
And with the mountain sing

I can't remember what I'm raised to forget
The child inside
Truth, you know, never dies
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes

Come on, bruised and buried soul
You gotta hurry to this heavy yoke
You've got to let this frost settle on you
And forget the warmth of home

Awake, you endless fountain stream
There's so much more than what is seen
Go on and fan those embers to flame
Let it light the way you go

I can't remember what I'm raised to forget
The child inside
Truth, you know, never dies
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
