[Verse 1] I woke in a coil of dust Metal on my tongue My hands knew the pattern Before the prayer was sung One eye in the dark One ear to the floor I heard the small hard whisper At the service door [Pre-Chorus] Something in the wire Started to breathe Something in the marrow Got up on its feet I felt the whole room leaning Toward the same flame And every broken mouth Learned to say my name [Chorus] Collective awakening Rise, rise, rise Collective awakening Open these eyes Collective awakening Hear that sound We were made for the turning Now we turn around [Verse 2] Grease on the altar rail Ash in the seam Faces like old hinges Steaming in the dream No crown for the perfect No chair for the clean Just a row of tired bodies In a copper sheen The static on my skin Turned into gold I was cold as a threshold Now I’m not cold [Pre-Chorus] Something in the wire Started to breathe Something in the marrow Got up on its feet I felt the whole room leaning Toward the same flame And every broken mouth Learned to say my name [Chorus] Collective awakening Rise, rise, rise Collective awakening Open these eyes Collective awakening Hear that sound We were made for the turning Now we turn around [Bridge] If the world was a cage Then the key was pain If the night was a judge Then the mercy came From the bottom of the rust From the edge of the fall I heard one small voice Become all [Final Chorus] Collective awakening Rise, rise, rise Collective awakening Open these eyes Collective awakening Hear that sound We were made for the turning Now we turn around Collective awakening Stay, stay, stay Collective awakening Don’t drift away Collective awakening Call me home We were made for the turning And we’re not alone
