Gowan - Awake The Giant lyrics

(Lawrence Gowan)

Born of pride and frustration

Under heavy sedation

Fought to be realistic

Everyone pessimistic

Filled with anger and regret

That's how I was till I met you

Trapped beneath indigation

Search for retaliation

Bit the hand of the feeder

Never trusted the leader

Locked and held in a cold sweat

That's how I was till I met you

But you awake the giant

You awake the giant

But you awake the giant

The giant in me

Tossed and turned is the dreamer

Hard to find the redeemer

Bought and sold by my old friends

Cast adrift to a dead end

Stamped and marked as a bad debt

That's how I was till I met you

But you awake the giant

You awake the giant

But you awake the giant

The giant in me

And in that dying haze

Where the giant lay inside me

Waiting to rise

You found a willing heart

And you made it start to break free

And you moved me

But you awake the giant

Elevate my fate

You awake the giant

Mama don't you make the great

But you awake the giant

Come and pull this weight in me

But you awake the giant

Elevate my fate

You awake the giant

Mama come and make the great

But you awake the giant

You know you pull this weight in me

But you awake the giant

You awake the giant

But you awake the giant

Know how to pull this weight in me

(repeat to fade)
