Wide Awake Lyrics by Julian Taylor

Beyond the Reservoir

2022

It’s a crazy world that we live in
The tide comes and goes so fast
Right now
While I’m trying to be present
I’m still chasing shadows of my past
My father was born in the islands
My mother was born on the great turtle’s back
They prayed for me when I’d go out in the evening
At least that’s one of the rumours I’d hear
‘round Christmas time spent with our family over
Hot totty sorrel and ginger beer
They did their best and they did it for freedom
They did everything they ever could for mе
We went to church evеry single Sunday
We’d get dressed up and then go to Granny’s place
I’d run around that house with my cousins
We loved to race
There is an abundance of hope that lies between the oceans of time
There’s nothing singular about it
Yet it can be clearly defined
Yet, it can be clearly defined
And I’m wide awake
I chalk it up to all of my mistakes
And all the heartaches that I’ve had to face
And all the choices that I’ve had to make in my life
The greatest pictures are never taken
They’re all stored in your memory
Me and my mom
We use to go to Good Bites and talk philosophy
We’d sit there talking for hours
I once asked her
Why are good memories so heavy
She simply said
Aren’t we lucky
And I’m wide awake
I chalk it up to all of my mistakes
And all the heartaches that I’ve had to face
And all the choices that I had to make in my life
(lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
Aren’t we lucky
Aren’t we lucky
There is an abundance of hope that lies between the oceans of time
There’s nothing singular about it
Yet it can be clearly defined
Yet, it can be clearly defined
And I’m wide awake
I chalk it up to all of my mistakes
And all the choices that I’ve had to make
And all the heartaches that I’ve had to face in this life
