Garnett & Beverly: Listen to Our Music
Awake and Aware
(Hundley/Daugherty)

Walkin' around with my eyes wide open
Not knowin' I was walkin' asleep
Passing by strangers without even lookin’
Not one eye did I meet
Something inside said, “Hey, you’ve been missin’
the life you came here for
Just open your mind and your ears and listen
for the key that unlocks the door.”
You stay awake and aware, now feel the opening
Awake and aware, quietly listen
Awake and aware, now don’t go back to sleep
Don’t go back to sleep
Can’t go back, don’t want to stay the same
Won’t go back, I glimpse the new
Don’t go back, not even lookin’ there
I can’t go back, won’t go back, don’t go back to sleep.
I heard a story just last week
About the river and the man
How he might cross that river every day
And yet it never, never, never
Never, never, never stays the same
Stay awake and aware, now feel the opening
Awake and aware, quietly listen
Awake and aware, don’t go back to sleep
Don’t go back to sleep
So if you’re tired of just being tired
You’ve got to make the time to go within
You might be surprised at what you find
If you listen to yourself, commit to yourself
Love yourself , you know you can
Awake and aware
Awake and aware
Awake and aware
Don’t go back to sleep
Awake and aware, feel the opening
Awake and aware, quietly listen
Awake and aware, don’t go back to sleep
Can’t go back
Won’t go back
Don’t go back to sleep
Can’t go back
Won’t go back
Don’t go back to sleep
Can’t go back
Won’t go back
Don’t go back to SLEEP
