Michael Patrick Kelly - Awake Lyrics

Awa-awake, awake my inner child

Long ago, little child
"You do what you're told!"
Daddy tamed you, too wild
So "Act like you're old!"
Then mommy had to go, you had to star the show
Almost buried your fire

Awa-awake, awake my inner child
Awa-awake, bring me back to life
Awa-awake, awake my inner child (awake, awake)
Awa-awake, let me dance in the wild (awake, awake)

All alone in the dark
No one heard you cry
Holding on to your spark
And hoping for light

Those years are long ago
And it's time to welcome home
Your new fire

Awa-awake, awake my inner child (awake, awake)
Awa-awake, bring me back to life (awake, awake)
Awa-awake, awake my inner child (awake, awake)
Awa-awake, let me dance in the wild (awake, awake)

Run away, old man run away
Run away, old man run away
Run away, old man run away from me
Run away, old man run away
Run away, old man run away
Run away, old man run away from me
Your new fire

Awa-awake, awake my inner child (awake, awake)
Awa-awake, and bring me back to life (awake, awake)
Awa-awake, awake my inner child (awake, awake)
Awa-awake, and let me dance in the wild (awake, awake)
