Alabaster Box - Awaken lyrics

today i saw a lady who had a baby she was fourteen

little boy who had such joy

yet his sorrow lies in the dark of night

we search perfection daily and model tv with a lovely lady

with pretty coloured shoes and pretty coloured hair

yet forever hollow stare

CHORUS

so awaken your eyes awaken your soul

we are in need of the truth to be told

open your heart open your mind

we are in need of the truth to find

hey hey yeah hey hey yeah

open your eyes see the real thing

i saw a family with broken hearts yet stubborn pride

no time to say he's sorry just making money while she still cries

whats this world when importance lies

on having things instead of love inside

everybody knows but does anybody care

that we're still so unaware

CHORUS

take a look take a look see his promise after the rain

colourful beautiful a perfectionate display of his love
