Awaken (lyrics by Josh Luckenbach)
What do you see when you eyes are closed
before the curtain draws back and the plot unfolds?
What do you hear inside your head
when you’re fast asleep, all other thoughts dead?
Why do you scream when you’re all alone,
when all is dark and you rest on your throne?
Why do cry when the lights go down,
when no one cares and no one frowns?
Silence is sacred
Prayers often wasted
Your god’s mistaken
when our freedoms are taken
What do you feel when you look into your heart,
when all your saviors are worlds apart?
What do you see when you wipe away your tears
and witness your lord aiding your fears?
Who do you praise when you’re hidden in the dark,
when there’s no place to sign or to make your mark?
What do you scream when no one can hear,
when all is safe and no hell is near?
