Awakening

Once the soul awakens
The search begins and you can never go back
From then on, you are inflamed with a special longing
That will never again let you linger
In the lowlands of partial fulfilment
The eternal makes you urgent
You are loath to let compromise
Or the threat of danger hold you back from striving forward
A kind of light spread out from her
Everything changed colour
And the world opened out
And the day was good to awaken to
There were no limits to anything
And I was not afraid any more
I am free

And the world opened out
And the day was good to awaken to
There were no limits to anything
And I was not afraid any more
I am free
