my first awakening

Efthimios William Cornelius

 

[Verse 1]
Somewhere in the depths of my soul
you are what makes the man in me

why I close my eyes through night
If I stayed awake I couldn’t dream
the one and only place I can go tonight

[Chorus]
You are my first awakening
You are the wind beneath my wings
your strength is what pulls me
My every breath I breathe is for you

You are my first awaking

[Verse 2]
All my life I’ve been so afraid
But when I think of you it warms my heart

Time sure has passed on by
And the summers have taken its course
From place to place the faces seen
Oh the things I have come to miss

[Chorus]
You are my first awakening
You are the wind beneath my wings
your strength is what pulls me
My every breath I breathe is for you

You are my first awaking

[Bridge]
When time comes to stand
I will look into your eyes
There's nothing here to hold me back

[Chorus]
You are my first awakening
You are the wind beneath my wings
your strength is what pulls me
My every breath I breathe is for you

You are my first awakening
