I Became Awake Lyrics


I became awake
From a very dark place
Patchwork of fear of poorly conceived ideas
With a blister of waterMark of working hands, ready to catch or cut
Senses aligned, the animal urgency
And voices picked up
Flowing over the static, late, quietAll awake, all awakeI became awake
Fingers are open, eyes they are open
The firing of images, an orchestra of scribbles
The guts of an engine, the veins of a leaf
Light onto paper, exposedA filament in a bulb, up above or in the ground
Together we are magic, together we are dreaming
Together we will reach endlessly
The center of a seed, so full of possibilitiesAll awake, all awake
All awakeI became awake
I thought I was sleeping but I was only forming
A structure with no ceiling
With words like a runway

A cloud of a person drifting awayI was heavy but now I am light
I was heavy but now I am light
All awake, all awake
All awake, all awake

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Great Lake Swimmers is a Canadian indie folk band which formed in 2003 in Wainfleet, Ontario, Canada. The band began with Tony Dekker (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Erik Arneson (banjo, guitar, harmonium), Bret Higgens (bass), Julie Fader (keyboards, vocals) and Greg Millson (drums). Julie Fader subsequently left, and Miranda Mulholland, on violin and backing vocals, joined. Fifty-five years ago, Marilyn Bell took a plunge and traversed Lake Ontario. Back then, being a Great Lake swimmer was a big deal; now, it's an astonishing physical feat taken for granted.
