Awake

Awake, awake
Always awake
The sun dawns new
And I'm awake
Awake, awake
Awake

Awake, awake,
The world revolves
The sun spins round
Awake.

Awake I lie
New light breaks free
My eyes burn
Fresh with tears
Awake, awake
Awake.

Sleep is a gift
I cannot unwrap
Though see it
Like a child at Christmas
Out or reach
I'm out of touch
With reality, and dreams
Awake.

Philosophize
Or write a song
Or play a game
It's useless.
Tired of body
Weary of mind
But always
Still awake.
