my waking state of mind

in my dreams, i am fully awake
filled with adventure, anxious anticipation
i dream of the jump, the plumett
the plundge
but in my waking state, i am fast asleep
shivering in my awkward skin
poised on the edge
wishing i wasn't afraid to just shut up and jump
longing for my dreams

help me awaken every morning
to the Sonlight on my face
and the warm reminder that
You are new every morning
You are brand new every morning

a life loving You
a life awake
a life lived like there might not be another one
a life in You
a life in awe
a life like this
my life like this
