Gowan – Awake The Giant lyrics

(Lawrence Gowan)
Born of pride and frustration
Under heavy sedation
Fought to be realistic
Everyone pessimistic
Filled with anger and regret
That's how I was till I met you
Trapped beneath indigation
Search for retaliation
Bit the hand of the feeder
Never trusted the leader
Locked and held in a cold sweat
That's how I was till I met you
But you awake the giant
You awake the giant
But you awake the giant
The giant in me
Tossed and turned is the dreamer
Hard to find the redeemer
Bought and sold by my old friends
Cast adrift to a dead end
Stamped and marked as a bad debt
That's how I was till I met you
But you awake the giant
You awake the giant
But you awake the giant
The giant in me
And in that dying haze
Where the giant lay inside me
Waiting to rise
You found a willing heart
And you made it start to break free
And you moved me
But you awake the giant
Elevate my fate
You awake the giant
Mama don't you make the great
But you awake the giant
Come and pull this weight in me
But you awake the giant
Elevate my fate
You awake the giant
Mama come and make the great
But you awake the giant
You know you pull this weight in me
But you awake the giant
You awake the giant
But you awake the giant
Know how to pull this weight in me
