This world can be a pitiful place
Where men and women lie
They hide their shame behind a face
And rot until they die
This land is bleak and like a stone
The bare trees stand austere
The winter winds are fiercely blown
The rain falls far and near
Come away you spirit of darkness
Take your black spell from the land
Roll away you spirit of sadness
Cos the new life is at hand
Awakening
It's awakening
Awakening
It's awakening
I used to be a sinful man
Wretched through and through
To please myself as best I can
Was all I hoped to do
The paths with briars are overgrown
The rivers full of mud
The forests fear the mountains moan
The flowers refuse to bud
Come away you spirit of darkness
Take your black spell from the land
Roll away you spirit of sadness
Cos the new life is at hand
Awakening
It's awakening
Awakening
It's awakening
Open the door and let love in
Open your heart, step in the light
Welcome the springtime and begin
Your new life
I feel his body next to mine
Broken for three days
And by his heavenly grace divine
I know that I am saved
This world it is a beautiful place
Awakened by the light
Reborn at last the human race
Can walk in paradise
Come away you spirit of darkness
Take your black spell from the land
Roll away you spirit of sadness
Cos the new life is at hand
Awakening
It's awakening
Awakening
It's awakening
Awakening
It's awakening
Awakening
It's awakening
Awakening
It's awakening
Awakening
It's awakening
This world it is a beautiful place
Awakened by the light
Reborn at last the human race
Can walk in paradise
