| We Are Awake |
| C7 I did not know the language, But I understood the talk. F7 It felt like I was standing in a wind. C7 I started to unravel the unmitigated walk, F7 When from the door marked "EXIT", they came in. F7 Was I awake? (We Are Awake) C7 I could not stop the sight before my eyes. F7 Was I awake? (We Are Awake) G7 C7 Unending joy that did not cease to rise. It did not seem the answer To speak in such a rush, So I sat ther and waited for the move. Then something came and kissed me And it caused my mind to blush I touched the open hand of selfless love. I was awake (We Are Awake) There could be no mistaking for a dream. I was awake (We Are Awake) Nothing else establishes the theme. BREAK: as verse/chorus It came and went but did not pass, There was too much to see Moving through the middle of my life. And with its gentle power It has knocked me to my knees To watch the golden arrow as she flies. I am awake (We Are Awake) And only mortal senses tie my wings I am awake (We Are Awake) Transfixed, I hear the mountains as they sing. Chorus 3 Outro: C7 Words and Music (C) Michael Nesmith |
