"Awakening" lyrics - CELTIC WOMAN

CELTIC WOMAN
"Awakening"
(David Downes)

Now, when the world is shadowed and dark
Now, when the sky is empty of stars
Now, when the world is wrapped in sleep
In a quiet, endless, and deep
In the silence of the night

Far off in the distance, a fire comes to life
A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark
Burning soft and bright, dancing with the light
Awakening the heavens and the earth
Far across the ocean, a flame is rising high
Breaking through the shadows and the dark
Shining in the night, rising with the light
Here to wake the heavens and the earth

Now, as the light starts to rise
Now, as the day opens wide
Now, as the dream slips away
You wake to the day, you wake to the light

Feel as your dream falls away
Feel as the dark turns to day
Leave the shadows behind
And the dream, cold and blind, turn into the light

Far off in the distance, a fire comes to life
A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark
Burning soft and bright, dancing with the light
Awakening the heavens and the earth
Far across the ocean, a flame is rising high
Breaking through the shadows and the dark
Shining in the night, rising with the light
Here to wake the heavens and the earth

Far off in the distance, a fire comes to life
A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark
Burning soft and bright, dancing with the light
Awakening the heavens and the earth
Far across the ocean, a flame is rising high
Breaking through the shadows and the dark
Shining in the night, rising with the light
Here to wake the heavens and the earth

Here to wake the heavens and the earth, tonight.
