Sleeping Beauty - Traci Hines
Lyrics:
Something moves in the shadows, something lurks at the door
And the fear I feel surround it, knocked my courage to the floor
Someone stalks, it’s getting closer, something stirs in my soul
Something tugs at my heartstrings, and I try to gain control
There’s a beast just 'round the corner, someone I’ve never seen
But she’s quietly familiar, like a drum entrancing
This darkness like a cloud I am just outside its reach
I don’t know why it wants me...but it’s so enticing
Wake me I’m giving all I have but you can’t
See me locked in this cage fighting silently
Here's the moment you can try to wake me up
Spiral down and wake me up
Animate me wake me wake me up
Are you sure that we’re strangers…or have we met before?
And this dream, it feels so familiar. Is this dejavu or more?
I can’t move but I can feel them, like they’re both inside my mind
One is pure, heart full of honor, and the other so undefined
There’s a prince just round the corner, someone I think I’ve seen
And he’s quietly familiar, like someone out of a dream
His goodness like a light, I am just outside his reach
I don’t know why he wants me...but he’s so inviting
Wake me I’m giving all I have but you can’t
See me locked in this cage fighting silently
Here's the moment you can try to wake me up
Spiral down and wake me up
Animate me wake me wake me up
In my waking I could tell you all that’s in my heart
If you weren’t so late maybe we’d never be apart
If I were awake I’d show you all I’ve ever known
So wake me wake me from this nightmare
Wake me, take me home.
Wake me I’m giving all I have but you can’t
See me locked in this cage fighting silently
Here's the moment you can try to wake me up
Spiral down and wake me up
Animate me wake me wake me up.
...and maybe somehow you can break this spell I’ve fallen under…
Maybe somehow...
