Awakening

Awakening
Autumn
Sep 2004

The ultimate bombshell has been dropped
And I am left alone, completely baffled
Reality sets in like a distressed bird
The past has already been decided
The long, unseen future seems uncertain
And this will remain… (remain… remain…)

Chorus:
The road ahead would be steep
So get up on your own two feet
Gather your courage, determination and strength
Ward off blows of failures within arm’s length
You need to continue on walking
To cultivate that sense of awakening

They said to leave everything to fate
But I guess this was one big mistake

Contradictions are appearing everywhere
Everything seems like a frightening scare
Whatever I had believed in turned out the other way
Everything’s inside out, upside down these days
Betraying my trust, blurring my vision
Confusions, complications, and no conclusions (No, No, No…)

[Chorus]

They said you can change your fate
But I guess I am a tad too late

Stranded
I’m left in the darkness without any clues
Troubled
I don’t know what to do

[Chorus]

Motivation, encouragement, enlightenment
That’s all I want, that’s all I need
Awakening…
Now I’m gonna stop depending on fate
I have a future all mine to create
Looking at the long road ahead
With its many different types of gates
I realized that it’s never too late
