Shannon Lay — Awake and Allow

[Verse 1] I sit here quiet fingers folded Holding something i can’t see I must not fear what comes tomorrow I must not dream of yesterday I’m harboring a deep compassion Slowly it is what i keep I watch it grow From far From close Awaken the nature that is me [Chorus] I have to get out of California The days go by like smoke in the wind Oh to grow Oh to discover The nature without the nature within [Verse 2] I am so still i feel the earth turning The moon falls slowly into place Do not resist new forms are calling They patiently await embrace Do not stop change in favor of comfort A bud cannot resist to bloom The more i learned the less i knew Allow the nature that is you [Chorus] I have to get out of California The days go by like smoke in the wind Oh to grow Oh to discover The nature without the nature within
