The water lets me borrow air And I break through. Footprints stamp the white sand records Before the tide can wash it clean. I run because my heart has learned What running means. (I’m awake) (I’m awake) (I’m awake) The docks reach farther than forever, Stretching past that blurred horizon I could run into the morning; Catch the sunrise, watch it ripen These boards beneath my footsteps Promise there's more to find. Running spurs my memory; The Sun enlightens my mind. Beyond the beach, the footpath narrows, Through rocky grottos, root and rain. Towers sleep beneath the flowers, Green gentles iron pain. (I’m awake) (I’m awake) (I’m awake) The river wraps me in its arms, The sunlight scatters into gold. Tiny fish defend their kingdom; I laugh— I'm much too large to hold. I rest beneath the waterfall I glory in this paradise I wonder at my recent past; Shift my paradigm Does it matter where I came from? Does it matter who I’ve been? For the first time in forever, I’m living in my skin. (I’m awake) (I’m awake) (I’m awake) I met you by the bonfire, When daylight came to rest. All perfect things grew distant At the beating in my chest. All the sea and all its colors Bowed before your flawless hem. I'd live the final fantasy To see you smile again. I've never truly lived before— Not like this. Not where Moonlight leans to listen, Where every breath is bliss; And it sounds like— (Stay) (Stay) (Stay) (I’m awake) please let me stay (I’m awake) please let me stay (I’m awake) please— ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ © 2026 The Badfatler All rights reserved.
