Awakened

If we all would stop and take a second look
Would we do anything differently?
If the world could stop would we all just walk away
And pick it up another day?
Is this what we have waited for?
All the days, until we all breathe as one
Is this what we have waited for?
It's coming down on me, hold on…

If the children stop and ask us why it hurts this way?
Will we know the words to say?
Is this what we have waited for?
It's coming down on me, hold on…

It's kind of hard to sleep while looking over your shoulder
You tie one on because it makes you feel better
I have waited for so long, so run with me, run
It's coming down on me, hold on
