Wake Through Weariness

{intimate

fingerpicked acoustic guitar} {faint,

distant pedal

steel swell} (sighhh) The ceiling is staring down at me Gravity feels

ten times stronger

today

My heavy boots are on the floor

But my spirit wants to drift away

I hear the morning call {soft bass guitar and subtle piano layers

enter} (mmmmm)

I've got to break through this wall

Too tired to get out of bed

With a heavy

cloud inside my head

But I know

I have to keep going

Yeah, I have to keep

going {triumphant but gentle crescendo}

One foot finds the cold wood floor

Slowly turning the brass of the door

No grand speeches, no battle cries Just the quiet light

in my tired eyes

Just keep going

(keep going) {guitars slowly fade into peaceful tape hiss} (mmm-mmm)
