AWAKEN

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON, JUNE 2016

FACED WITH CHOICES

IT'S ALWAYS EASIER TO TAKE THE LOW ROAD

BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE FOR ANY KIND OF MAN

THAT'S GOING SOMEWHERE WITH SOMEONE

HELP ME TO HELP MYSELF TO THE RIGHT CHOICES

SORT IT OUT FROM A HUNDRED VOICES

SOMETIMES I GET SNIPPY AND CONDESCENDING 

BUT MINUTES LATER I REALIZE THAT I

DIDN'T MEAN A WORD I SAID

DID THAT REALLY COME OUT OF MY HEAD

I KNOW IF NOT FOR YOU

MY HEART WOULD SINK INTO DESPAIR

WHEN I AWAKEN, I WANT YOU TO ALWAYS BE THERE

IF ANYONE CAN SOFTEN UP THIS OLD HEART IT'S YOU

I REMEMBER ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH

I ONLY HOPE THAT TIME WILL KEEP BRINGING US CLOSER TOGETHER

KEEP KEEPING ME IN CHECK

WHEN I BEGIN TO WANDER OFF THE PATH

OUR LOVE CAN MAKE IT WORK 

WHEN I SEE YOU SMILING

I KNOW I'M MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

NEARER TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL HEART

I BEGIN TO START TO ASK MYSELF IF IT'S ME

FINALLY BECOMING THAT BUTTERFLY

IT TOOK SOME DOING, IT TOOK SOME TIME

COUNT MY LUCKY STARS I WISHED ON AS THEY FELL

SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO TELL
