Awakening

My head held high, my eyes turned low I take my time ’cos I don’t know you Or what this means, or who we are Or how each small step can feel so far

Ten steps closer to you Ten steps away from everything I knew And I feel so scared to try So, so scared to learn what secrets might lie

Beyond what I know and what I feel If what I feel is even real Is even true, and then, why me? Why you?

If I’m dreaming, Wake me when it’s over — I’m not leaving I don’t understand this thing I’m feeling All this time my heart has been deceiving me

Now I’m shaken Under this uncertainty I’m breaking Not confident about this path I’ve taken But something deep inside me is awakening

There’s no going back I can’t turn back now I’m walking, I’m walking to you

This is all I know and all I feel And what I feel I know it’s real I know it’s true, and this is me And I love you

No there’s no going back now I can’t turn back now now I’m walking, I’m walking with you

There’s no going back now…
