many turns around the sun ago
there was indeed a speck of sand
locked inside a long forgotten land
the key is in the shape of a teacher
when i close my eyes i feel you close
every breath you breathe into my soul
it feels like a dream to see your light
but now I need to find my way back home
‘cause i realize
what i need to feel, every day i breathe
i know that this is real, you awakened me within
oh you woke me, for the light
i shine, you opened my eyes
know there’s such a thing as pure awareness
and out of it you’ll build the world you reflect
if it were as easy as it sounds
you wouldn’t need me to lend my hand
now I realize
what i need to feel, every day i breathe
i know that this is real, you awakened me within
oh you woke me, for the light,
i shine, you opened my eyes
now i realize
what i need to feel, every day i breathe
i know that this is real, you awakened me within
oh you woke me, for the light
i shine, you opened my eyes
and there is
no way back
from this path
i open my eyes
