In the awakening, in the awakening 

I will shoulder my troubles and 

harness my ride 

In the awakening, in the awakening 

I'll roll nothin' but doubles, 

sevens and nines 



In the awakening, in the awakening 

I will lick my wounds, I will kiss the sky 

In the awakening, in the awakening 

I will kick the shoulds, I will not ask why 



In the awakening, in the awakening 

I will pray for nothing, 

I will stay up 'til the end 

In the awakening, in the awakening 

I will say what I want to, 

I will not make amends 



In the awakening, in the awakening 

I will honor the mistaken, 

I will honor the truth 

In the awakening, in the awakening 

I will honor the forsaken, 

I will not mourn my youth 



In the awakening, in the awakening 

I will not mourn my losses, 

I will not mourn the dead 

In the awakening, in the awakening 

I will have no bosses, 

I will not bow my head 



In the awakening, in the awakening 

I will want for nothing, I will give you a gift 

In the awakening, in the awakening 

I will always love you, 

I will give you my kiss
