Awakening

Awakening - Celtic Woman/Downes/Ní Dhuil/MCCREA

Now' when the world is shadowed and dark

Now' when the sky is empty of stars

Now' when the world is wrapped in sleep

In a quiet' endless' and deep

In the silence of the night

Far off in the distance' a fire comes to life

A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark

Burning soft and bright' dancing with the light

Awakening the heavens and the earth

Far across the ocean' a flame is rising high

Breaking through the shadows and the dark

Shining in the night' rising with the light

Here to wake the heavens and the earth

Now' as the light starts to rise

Now' as the day opens wide

Now' as the dream slips away

You wake to the day' you wake to the light

Feel as your dream falls away

Feel as the dark turns to day

Leave the shadows behind

And the dream' cold and blind'

Turn into the light

Far off in the distance' a fire comes to life

A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark

Burning soft and bright' dancing with the light

Awakening the heavens and the earth

Far across the ocean' a flame is rising high

Breaking through the shadows and the dark

Shining in the night' rising with the light

Here to wake the heavens and the earth

Far off in the distance' a fire comes to life

A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark

Burning soft and bright' dancing with the light

Awakening the heavens and the earth

Far across the ocean' a flame is rising high

Breaking through the shadows and the dark

Shining in the night' rising with the light

Here to wake the heavens and the earth

Here to wake the heavens and the earth' tonight
