Waking Up Now

She holds the future...
remembering life is worth living.
She's awake now
she's waking up now

She had clarity
remembering what it's all about.
She can face tomorrow
that's now plain
trade away her sorrow
for a new day of pain.

Everybody wagers she won't make it
she might make it anyhow.

I know in the evening
strumming the floor
she hears him coming through the screen porch
smiles and walks through the door.
She's awake now
knows what it's all about.

She can face tomorrow
that's now plain
trade away her sorrow
for a new day of pain.
