Awaken Lyrics by Yes

The Studio Albums 1969-1987

1977

[Instrumental Intro 00:00-00:42]

[Verse 1]
High vibration go on
To the sun
Oh, let my heart dreaming
Past a mortal as me
Where can I be?

[Verse 2]
Wish the sun to stand still
Reaching out to touch our all being
Past all mortal as we
Here we can be
(He can be here)
(Be here now)
Here we can be

[Chorus]
Sun's high, streams through
Awaken gentle mass touch
(Gentle mass touch)
Awaken gentle mass touch
(Gentle mass touch)
Strong dreams reign here
Awaken gentle mass touch
(Gentle mass touch)
Awaken gentle mass touching
(Gentle mass touch)
Awaken gentle mass touch

[Instrumental Break 02:49-03:56]
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Star song, ageless
Awaken gentle mass touching
(Gentle mass touch)
Awaken gentle mass touching
(Gentle mass touch)
Awaken gentle mass touching
Touching, touching, touching

[Instrumental Break 04:32-05:23]

[Verse 3]
Workings of man
Set to ply out historical life
Re-regaining the flower of the fruit of his tree
All awakening
All restoring you

[Verse 4]
Workings of man
Crying out from the fire set aflame
By his blindness to see
That the warmth of his being
Is promised for his seeing
His reaching so clearly

[Verse 5]
Workings of man
Driven far from the path
Re-released in inhibitions
So that all is left for you
All is left for you
All is left for you
All is left for you now

[Instrumental Break 06:20-10:36]
[Organ Solo]

[Verse 6]
Master of images
Songs cast a light on you
Hark through dark ties
That tunnel us out of sane existence
In challenge as direct
As eyes see young stars assemble

[Verse 7]
Master of light
All pure chance
As exists cross divided
In all encircling mode
Oh, closely guided plan
Awaken in our heart

[Verse 8]
Master of soul
Set to touch
All impenetrable youth
Ask away
That thought be contact
With all that's clear
Be honest with yourself
There's no doubt
No doubt

[Instrumental Break 11:26-57]
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 9]
Master of time
Setting sail
Over all of our lands
And as we look
Forever closer
Shall we now bid
Farewell, farewell

[Instrumental Break 12:13-13:32]
[Organ Solo]

[Bridge]
High vibration go on
To the sun, oh let my heart dreaming
Past a mortal as me
Where can I be
Wish the sun to stand still
Reaching out to touch our own being
Past all mortal as we
Here we can be

[Outro]
Like the time I ran away
Turned around and you were standing close to me
Like the time I ran away
Turned around and you were standing close to me
