Awake Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In a world of new reality
We can rest up or we can stand to heed
That in this blessed age
You can't be neutral on a moving train
[Pre-Chorus]
The road was not one
To betray those who came before
[Chorus]
Remaining awake
(Hey, hey hey, hey, hey)
In a great revolution
Remaining awake
(Hey, hey hey, hey, hey)
In a great revolution
[Verse 2]
As for this war that never ends
A proposition made to make amends
You know a thin line lies right in the way
Between what you give baby and what you take
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that we’re young
But there’s much more work to be done, oh
[Chorus]
Remaining awake
(Hey, hey hey, hey, hey)
In a great revolution
Remaining awake
(Hey, hey hey, hey, hey)
Through a great revolution
[Bridge]
This train is bound glory, I said
This train is bound for love (Oh)
This train, this train is bound for glory, yes
This train is bound
[Outro]
That’s the story of that’s the glory of
That’s the story of that’s the glory of
That’s the story of that’s the glory of
That’s the story of that’s the glory of love
Love, love, love, love
