TITLE: Awake
Lyrics and Chords


Clouds are swift, rocks are ancient
Mountains are high, oceans great
Winds are restless, trees are patient
And you my child are awake

/ E A B E / B A E - / :

Waves are crashing, rivers churning
Planets twirling, stars ablaze
Storms are raging, atoms whirling
And you my child are awake

{Refrain}
To perceive these wondrous things
To count the beats of a blackbird's wings
To tell a story and dance and sing

/ B - A - / / B - A Asus2 - - E - - - / 

All the splendors of creation
Are very happy that you came
Because they needed someone to see them
And you my child are awake

{Refrain}

Seeds are hopeful, dewdrops fleeting
Oak trees are crooked, redwoods straight
And they are not known to the sleeping
But you my child are awake
You my child are awake
You my child

/ E A B E / B A E - / : / B A E - / B A - - /
