From the recording Sweet Awakening
Lyrics
(Music and Lyrics by Nehal Abuelata)
Not enough space, between the lines
So many, guilty feelings we hide
You wake up in the morning
With a bright future in sight
And then you close your eyes
On a regretful night
On a regretful night
The night
The night you’ve seen your dreams
The night you’ve seen your dreams,
Walking away, Walking Away
Too many bricks
Making up your wall
And not enough attention
To break them all
Too many men and women
Laying on the floor
And not enough care
To build them a home
Build them a home
A home
A home where they can live
A home where they can live
As themselves
Build them a home, build them a home
Build them a home
Not enough breaths,
Between our words
And far too many changes
That won’t occur
I know you’re getting tired
Of the long term plans
In a city with a fire
Burning under the land
Burning under the land
The land
The land we, the land we walk on
The land we walk on
Oh so blindly
So blindly
So blindly
The land we walk on, blindly
Is the land that never ceases to give, to give
While some never really seem to stop taking from her,
Ruthlessly, ruthlessly
But they’ll never know
They will never know
They will never know
Peace
While those with nothing
Find a way to
Release all the loving in their hearts
To her
She hears, she hears
She hears the sound
Of a change, approaching
While the oblivious ones,
Keep on taking,
They keep on taking
But they’ll never know
They will never know
They will never know
Peace
They will never know
They will never know
They will never know
Peace
They will never never…
Never…
Know, peace
They will never never….
Never…
They will never know
They will never know
Peace
