For a long time
I was living without living
Hiding within myself
In the world I was dreaming

But I can't dream forever
That's something I forgot
Something I dismissed
While I was deep in my thoughts

And then I woke up
For first time in a while
I got free from the dreams
Where I was in exile

And I cannot describe
The feeling of awakening
The feeling of life
Is breathtaking

And with each breath
I can feel my body responding
I can feel life within me
I can feel my heart pounding

The world around me
Feels more alive than before
It feels bigger than I remember
And I can't ask for more

The colours that were washed
Are now vibrant and brighter
The air that was oppressive
Now feels lighter

The nights that were dark
Where emptiness felt eternal
Are now filled with stars
And that feels normal

The moonlight that was ominous
That was dark and frightening
Is now bright and warm
And that's exciting

This is the new horizon
That I see with my eyes
That I feel with my body
Since I arise
