Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, mama, hey, mama, hey, mama, hey
Hey, mama, hey, mama, hey, mama, hey
Body, awake my body
[Verse 2]
You can't turn your cheek when you're falling asleep
And you're cold
Awake my body
[Verse 3]
They took me to the station
Dropped me on my knees
Ask me my vocation
I'll tell you, if you please
[Verse 4]
I trained my toes in tappin'
Specializing in concrete
A day you want, they just happen
I heard a voice that came to me
It said, "My body, my toes
My heart, my skin, my nose
My organs for you to play"
[Verse 5]
For I believe believer will lead to healin'
Yes, now we have all our faith
Come on, take me all the way
[Verse 6]
Hey, mama, hey, mama, hey, mama, hey
Hey, mama, hey, mama, hey, mama, hey
Body, awake my body
[Verse 7]
I don't hide my eyes (Don't hide my eyes), I wanna see (I wanna see)
Don't hide my ears (Don't hide my ears), I wanna hear (I wanna hear)
I don't hide my tongue (Don't hide my tongue) from anyone (From anyone)
I wanna tell (I wanna tell), Heaven and Hell (Heaven and Hell)
I won't hide my heart, it won't break apart
I know they'll be sharing
They'll be sharing all the way, all the way
[Verse 8]
Awake now, body awake now
Awake now, body awake
Awake now, body awake now
Ah, see them caring, see them sharing
All the way, all the way
[Verse 9]
Hey, mama, hey, mama, hey, mama, hey
Hey, mama, hey, mama, hey, mama, hey
Body, awake my body
[Verse 10]
You can't turn your cheek when you're falling asleep
And you're cold
Awake my body
[Verse 11]
Take me home
All the way
