### Verse 1 I look at "my life" And there I find great rivers, Fissures, abysses, walls, Summits and bare stones. I walk along this path, drifting like a sleepwalker, Toward some elsewhere and tomorrow, The dream for which all hearts aspire, Yet which will never be mine. ### Verse 2 And here I am, still watching, A witness to a scene invented, A storm-tossed script, yet perfectly directed. The wind is freezing my face, But still I’m facing forward. I turn around without a doubt Toward the story that I myself composed, And I whisper… That I was only seeking out your Love, Thinking it was lost for all of time… ### Chorus Father, I want to wake up, I want to return back home, To feel that we are ONE… And that nothing else has meaning. ### Verse 3 God, I searched for you everywhere, My very being aches for you. Through every pair of eyes, Of each person that I met, Through myself and through all of them… I did nothing but seek you. Your Love is priceless to my soul, And now I know that it is ME Who must open my eyes to the sands And the dust that has gathered there… ### Verse 4 So that you can wash away With your radiant Divine breath All the rubble on my sight, All that burned me so deeply. I trusted illusions of things, Of birth and also of death, Of wealth and of possessive love; From all of this, I now find rest. ### Chorus Father, I want to wake up, I want to return back home, To feel that we are ONE… And that nothing else has meaning. ### Verse 5 I draw these “treasures” from my bag, The ones I clung to and kept close. I see them lying on the ground, And I tell myself they are nothing— Only a pile of heavy, foolish things Beside the Love that springs from you. I laugh to think I once believed That I could ever replace you. Today… I finally feel your Love, And how I always turned away from it… ### Verse 6 The world, the people and their things, The tales of sorrow and of joy, Are only faint and fading gleams Of a dream that never ends. I slept inside a shadowed dream Clinging to my every step, Where I was hurting from deep wounds… Dealt by someone I thought not me. There lies the highest of deceits— The fraud, the lie, the borrowed mask… ### Chorus Father, I want to wake up, I want to return back home, To feel that we are ONE… And that nothing else has meaning. No, nothing else has meaning…
