[Verse 1] You drift in Soft and sideways Feathers full of quiet news Perched right on my windowsill Like you’ve outgrown the dark You don’t speak in common language Just a tilt A knowing eye Like you’re pointing at the corners Of a room I never tried [Chorus] Owl in the waking world You turn the ordinary gold Hidden pages Passing faces All the stories still untold Owl in the waking world Teach me how to really see ’Cause wisdom’s in the smallest wings Landing right in front of me (oh) [Verse 2] Stranger smiles beside the checkout Says one line that splits the day Leaves me holding half a question As they fold and walk away Dog‑eared cover on a bargain table Title burns into my chest Take it home and in the margin Find my own handwriting pressed [Chorus] Owl in the waking world You turn the ordinary gold Hidden pages Passing faces All the stories still untold Owl in the waking world Teach me how to really see ’Cause wisdom’s in the smallest wings Landing right in front of me [Bridge] Could be a half‑remembered dream That lingers like a quiet chord Could be a child’s simple sentence That I swear I’ve heard before (yeah) If I move a little slower Maybe life will let me in Every moment Every mirror Is a door with light within [Chorus] Owl in the waking world You turn the ordinary gold Little chances Soft advances In the hallway On the road Owl in the waking world Guide me where my joy feels true If I listen If I’m open I’ll grow wiser flying too (oh yeah)
