Waking up, waking up, waking up…
Waking up the road to joy


Sore eyes, swollen skies
Look for anchors, look for ties
Sharp sounds swim around
Soak into the brittle ground


Been so many days, been held inside this body
Been so many days, and there's nothing to do
Been so many days, in the throbbing of the darkness
Been so many days, I've been waiting for you


Back in the world
Waking up the road to joy


Love calls through the walls
Warms the earth wherever it falls
Lights form and cool you down
Going in for another round

This is how it goes, I've been listening to the voices
This is how it goes, you were sure I was gone
This is how it goes, in this state of meditation
This is how it goes, I've been waiting for you


Back in thе world
Waking up the road to joy
Back in the world
Walking down the road to joy


Thе engine stops and silence pause
Fills the holes and cracks, don't fuse
Young and old, girl and boy
Dance along the road to joy
Picture sharpens in your head
Opens up when it's been read
All the things you strain to see
Come, move on in, come to be


Show your eyes, show your teeth
That's the way to build belief
Touch my hair, touch my knee
You can wake up every part of me

Get the blood to flow, in every nook and cranny
Get the blood to flow, from my head to my toes
Get the blood to flow, flowing all around me
Get the blood to flow, with the life in my soul


Back in the world
Walking down the road to joy


Just when you think it can't get worse
The mind reveals the universe
Opens up a distant star
It gives you straight just who you are
I'm more a dog, you're more a cat
Then we're getting bored of that
Alive again, aboard a snake
Then we jump into the lake
