This song is about how difficult the past five years have been for us as a society. I feel like we have become so desensitized and hateful towards one another. The Awakening is about how people from all walks of life are empowered to celebrate their own beautiful uniqueness and individuality free of judgment and comparison. We try to be someone we are not, and question ourselves for being who we are. People are on their phones with facial filters to change how they look on social media just to feel accepted. Likes and thumbs up have become our new addiction, leading to depression and self-harm. We judge without reason and we assume the worst in each other. This song is about the need for economic, social and individual change. I still believe we can walk hand in hand into a better future once we realize that we are sleeping wide awake.

Lyrics

So I’d like to tell you that every, every single thing
Will be alright but some things will never be the same

Ooh, ooh, will never be the same
Ooh, ooh

So numb we’ve become
To words that slip away
And so much damage done
If you believe your life is a scene on a movie screen
Then it’s time to grow
And take back control

Ooh, ooh, you gotta’ pull yourself together
Ooh, ooh, It’s time to make a change, ooh, ooh
So I’d like to tell you that every, every single thing
Will be alright but some things will never be the same

It’s hard to let this pain go, but that’s how we find our way
Find our way back home
We all stumble through, like most all dreamers do
But now it’s time that we show
Don’t wanna’ sleep no more

Ooh, ooh, you gotta pull yourself together
Ooh, ooh , It’s time to make a change
Ooh, ooh , So I’d like to tell you that every, every single thing
Will be alright but some things will never be the same
Find our way back home
Will never be the same

You gotta’ pull yourself together, It’s time to make a change
We gotta’ carry each other, It’s time to make a change
It’s time to welcome change
You gotta’ pull yourself together
It’s time to make a change

So I’d like to tell you that every, every single thing
Will be alright but some things will never be the same
So I’d like to tell you that every, every single thing
Will be alright but some things will never be the same
