Awareness

Awareness

by RAi Soulmusic

Verse 1

I chased the echoes in my mind,

Thought I'd lose what I could never find.

Built my castle out of fear,

Never knew the truth was always here.

Every label, every name,

Every winner, every game.

Fell away without a sound,

Then I saw what can't be bound.

Pre-Chorus

Close your eyes, don't run away,

The light was never far away.

Chorus

Awareness... always here, always now,

You don't have to ask me how.

Not the body, not the name,

Not the pride or all the shame.

Awareness... silent like the open sky,

Watching every laugh and cry.

Nothing lost and nothing won,

Just the place we're coming from.

Verse 2

Storms will rise and storms will fade,

Every shadow that we made.

Thoughts are waves upon the sea,

They are not the real me.

Every heartbeat, every breath,

Every birth and every death.

Like a movie passing by,

But the screen will never die.

Bridge

Who is looking through your eyes?

Who was there before the lies?

When the noise has disappeared,

Only silence... only clear.

No beginning, no goodbye,

Just the endless open sky.

Final Chorus

Awareness... always here, always now,

Every question takes a bow.

Love is not so far away,

It was with us every day.

Awareness... nothing left to prove or hide,

The whole universe inside.

When the searching finally ends,

You discover... you've always been.
