Mark Gillespie - The Wake Is Over lyrics

Can there be a lion that forgets how to roar? Or a high-flying bird that just refuses to soar? A rolling wave that never reaches the shoreline? On and on till the end of time I don't want to fight about it anymore Because there's no doubt in my mind And I'm so weary and sore And I'm reminded by Each breath that I'm drawing That it's life and d**h, no rest There's no line you can draw There's always more and more One day you're up The next you're on the way down Then you're in it Below, above, and all around And all for a minute of this love You go round and around Then you know you've found A straighter way through the battleground And you can see just how bad It's really been But now the battlefield Is turning green And you can see that no matter How bad it seems A friend can mend a life Of broken dreams And you know you're free to go in love And you think it's you and me now Then you hear some voice moaning It's alone, alone Were you hurled Or did you just float? Falling down to the world Without love, without hope Were you bound or free And was I really drowning? Coming down to me Both feet on the ground And in the whirlwind You can only hope you can float Never leaving what you've found Not believing in ghosts Then there's nothing to know Not even hoping in hope Just taking it slow Because we're in the same boat There's no snake, no rope And somehow you know it takes time Taking it slowly But the wake is over Taking it slow The wake is over You can see how happy I am You can see the lion Lying down with the lamb You can see how good I'm feeling I didn't know if the feeling was real And you can see how happy I am I am a man who didn't understand And you can see just how good I feel I feel it in my heart That you've been stealing Is that how you feel? Turning the wheel, turning Is that how you feel? Take this heart That you've been stealing You don't have to kneel You're turning the wheel, turning Is that how you feel?
