"Sleeping Lotus" lyrics

"Sleeping Lotus"

Sleeping lotus
Wake up, wake up!

I've grown restless, searching through darkness
Longing to prove myself (and rise out of the dirt)
A glimmer of hope dampened by constant defeat
Reaching through oblivion God set me free

I feel weightless, I'm falling under
An endless dream eternal slumber
I'm lost, I'm too far gone
Show me a sign so I can follow your every word
Lost sight of who I am, God no one understands

Sleeping lotus
Wake up, wake up!
Sleeping lotus
Wake up, wake up!

Stagnant, complacent
Anxiety's chokehold pulls me down
A tattered lily amongst the dancing waters
Iridescent beauty waiting to be found

I've grown restless, searching through darkness
Longing to prove myself (and rise out of the dirt)
A glimmer of hope dampened by constant defeat
Reaching through oblivion God set me free

I feel weightless, I'm falling under
An endless dream eternal slumber
I'm lost, I'm too far gone
Show me a sign so I can follow your every word
Lost sight of who I am, God no one understands

Encompassed heart, time ticks away
A weathered seedling, I wither and decay

God! Water these roots and drown out the doubt
Nourish my purpose, turn me inside out
Illuminate your design
I'll leave the old me behind

Arise sleeping lotus
A fever dream
Drowning the flower that never blooms
Repeating the cycle the darkness consumes

(I feel weightless, I'm falling under
An endless dream eternal slumber)
I'm lost, I'm too far gone
Show me a sign so I can follow your every word
Follow your every word

Wake up!
Revive the light, purge the dark
Wake up!
Renew the mind, restore this heart
