Awakening

Sailing on the open sea in search of adventure unknown My homeland is finally at peace after unrest for so long Battling the wind and rain, feeling the crash of the waves A blinding white flash and a Deafening crack leaves me for a watery grave Just close your eyes, let the water take you over Carry you far away from here You'll find yourself in a land that's full of wonder But don't you fear So it may seem life is just a waking dream The people you've met, you'll one day forget But if you will try, those dreams may never die The memories you have will live on and on The sleeping beast must first awake if you desire to leave The native song will stir its rest but first you must retrieve Eight magic instruments guarded by Eight deadly nightmares, so it's told Ascend the steps to the giant's White shell and the path will then unfold To this task, rise, you must search the whole land over You will find aid in the form of a guide Heed his words wise, they will help to make you stronger Go turn the tide So it may seem life is just a fleeting dream The journeys you take, the choices you make And though you may try, some dreams will surely die But new ones will come in their wake Open your eyes to the truth you've now uncovered This place has all just been one's fantasy You must decide to press onward or to waver What shall it be? So it may seem life is just a wasted dream The feelings you held, your heart overwhelmed But look to the sky, your dream is flying high The memories you made now live on and on
