[Verse 1]
I woke up
woke up Up
Enough to
to the sound of a new beginning
Echoes in the silence, a voice I know
I'm sure you know that
Stories in the static, hope and forgiving
Pearls in the darkness, seeds we sow
Come back to us
No matter what
It's us for the rest of time
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember the first time
Music found my soul you already
Already know
Every word you say is a lifeline
Every note a home that waited inside
For the rest of time
[Chorus] again
Just breathe again, let the world keep turning
Open up your heart, let the fire keep burning in the darkness and if anything changes
We’re strangers and friends, in the sound we’re the same again no matter what it begins again
I hear
The same thing again and again it's you in the new songs, calling my name Jeremy
[Verse 2]
Pages turn gently so gently, the years that unfold never told our true story Onaka
Baby girl you are my world
Questions in the verses, we rehearse it over and over again and the answers in the rain cause us pain
Dreams that we carry, no matter what we say fragile but golden until the morning is bright again
We sing for tomorrow, we sing through the pain Onaka my girlfriend
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember the first time
Music found my soul I already know
Every word a lifeline
Every note a home Onaka please be mine
Baby girl who shines
Every time
[Chorus]
Just breathe again, let the world keep turning again and again
Open up your heart, we already knew from the very start so shine on and let the fire keep burning on and on again Oh Onaka my dearest friend
We’re strangers and friends, in the sound we’re the same again as we send our messages over sunsets
I hear you in the new songs, calling my name
Over and over again I am grateful for the little things that we win oh Jesus
[Bridge]
Oh, the road is long, but we are strong Oh Onaka baby girl lighten up my world
Unbreakable we will never lose oh baby it's just me and you
No matter what we will last throughout our fears and throughout our years
Baby girl
We run to be free, we run to be fearless just you and me
We run to be heard, through the years
They will never learn to fear us
Baby
It's just us
Onaka West side Montana
[Chorus]
Just breathe again, let the world keep turning into us, please baby trust we must love
Open up your heart, think about us, let the fire keep burning in us again it's trust
We’re strangers and friends, in the sound we’re the same again it's us baby Onaka it's us
For the rest of time
I hear you in the new songs, calling my name
I must trust that it's Jesus
Who
Heard us
Baby Onaka
[Verse 1]
I woke up
Eye woke up
Enough to
to the sound of a new beginning
Echoes in the silence, a voice I know
I'm sure you know that
Stories in the static
Outro
So breathe again,
Let the music remain
I hear you in the new songs,
Calling my name
This song captures Anneke’s reflective lyricism and melodic strength, blending it with Pearl Jam’s themes of resilience and connection through music.
