Yes - Awaken Lyrics






High vibration go on
To the sun
Oh, let my heart dreaming
Past a mortal as me
Where can I be?

Wish the sun to stand still
Reaching out to touch our all being
Past all mortal as we
Here we can be
(He can be here)
(Be here now)
Here we can be

Suns | High | Streams | Through
Awaken gentle mass touch
(Gentle mass touch)
Awaken gentle mass touch
(Gentle mass touch)

Strong | Dreams | Reign | Here
Awaken gentle mass touch
(Gentle mass touch)
Awaken gentle mass touch
(Gentle mass touch)
Awaken gentle mass touch

(Star | Song)

Star | Song | Age | Less
Awaken gentle mass touching
(Gentle mass touch)
Awaken gentle mass touching
(Gentle mass touch)
Awaken gentle mass touching
Touching...
Touching...
Touching...

Workings of man
Set to ply out historical life
Reregaining the flower of the fruit of his tree
All awakening
All restoring you

Workings of man
Crying out from the fire set aflame
By his blindness to see
That the warmth of his being
Is promised for his seeing
His reaching so clearly

Workings of man
Driven far from the path
Rereleased in inhibitions
So that all is left for you
All is left for you
All is left for you
All is left for you NOW...

Master of images
Songs cast a light on you
Hark thru dark ties
That tunnel us out of sane existence
In challenge as direct
As eyes see young stars assemble

Master of light
All pure chance
As exists cross divided
In all encircling mode
Oh closely guided plan
Awaken in our heart

Master of soul
Set to touch
All impenetrable youth
Ask away
That thought be contact
With all that's clear
Be honest with yourself
There's no doubt
No doubt

Master of time
Setting sail
Over all our lands
And as we look
Forever closer
Shall we now bid
Farewell farewell...

High vibration go on
To the sun, oh let my heart dreaming
Past a mortal as me
Where can I be

Wish the sun to stand still
Reaching out to touch our own being
Past all mortal as we
Here we can be

Like the time I ran away
Turned around and you were standing close to me
Like the time I ran away
Turned around and you were standing close to me

    Just the exact length of a spliff roll light smoke and experience...just like dark side of the moon

  8. T.... ....

    It's not "the best track in the band's entire recorded output" - it's the best track in recorded popular music.

  9. j.... ....

    the good thing about this track is that it leaves you without the desire to skip back to the start of the trax

  10. j.... ....

    tears never end, but god Desolves the weir

  11. S.... M....

    Wonderfull song, wonderfull music and 162 persone che non stanno proprio bene.

  12. D.... S....

    the best piece of music ever recorded.

    e oggi la gente si emoziona con la trap e il reggaeton.

  19. b.... ....

    Soon as the piano 🎹 starts you know who is singing absolutely 🌏🌞

  20. D.... S....

    Rick Wakeman went to my school. Just saying. Such a spiritual song.

  21. B.... B....

    Heard this song for the first time and never looked. back 😄

  22. I.... D....

    Yes---- got everything to come together on this track---an incredibly performed and produced prog master track----the powerful part where the organ comes in near the end is awesome

  23. F.... Z....

    Numa entrevista aqui no Brasil Jon Anderson disse que sua musica provem das Pleyades. Realmente essa musica é cósmica e trancedental ao mesmo tempo. Uma obra mestra.

  24. A.... O....

    What a GREAT awaken!!

    what kind of chord is 1:25, I wanna know because every time I hear the previous chord go into that one it just floors me and I'm like "that sounds incredible"

  26. F.... D....

    J ai l impression d être le dernier des Mohicans quand je dis que j apprécie toujours cette musique.

    A million times better than Bohemian Rhapsody.

  28. M.... ....

    Absolute master piece

  30. D.... S....

    When the piece takes its first 'turn' at 5:09 is sheer bliss.

  31. M.... ....

    Can someone school me on the breakdown of time signatures in this masterpiece?

    M.... ....

    This from a Q&A with Chris Squire. Eric Mansfield:
    Chris, I noticed on songs like ‘Siberian Khatru‘ you are alternating between 8 & 7 beats. What are you guys doing on ‘Awaken‘ after the vocal intro when you start playing your triple neck bass? I can’t seem to figure out the time signature.
    Chris: The Awaken first section is, in fact, in 11/4, and it should work out if you count to 11.

    M.... ....

    @Hal Thanks for that info!! Wow, really an incredible piece!

  32. K.... A....

    I want this song playing as I leave this world.

    D.... C....

    DVE. Yes toured Pittsburgh a lot.

  45. B.... L....

    I'd have to say, you just about have to remember the 70s to dig this kind of music...a long time ago.

  46. m.... p....

  50. D.... C....

    My heart starts pumping, my skin starts getting that musical Rush every time I listen to this

  51. K.... ....

    I listened to it, was very move by it (as always). As it finished I prepared to lay back to bask in the final bits of its beauty & glory as I float gently back to Planet Earth. And YT sticks a F*&^%NG Grammerly advert on!!! YT, have you NO feeling for culture? ;-) Well, I suppose I should be grateful they didn't shove something in the middle.

  52. T.... ....

    This is what heaven will sound like

  59. U.... M....

    "Master Of Images" ... prophesying the advent of a visual tool widely used by human race, in recent times known as "Instagram"

  60. D.... J....

    How many climaxes (musically) in this song? I lost count. It’s the “Love to Love You Baby” of prog rock. And one of the most profound songs ever. Thank you, Yes.

  61. A.... I....

    put on your headphones, close your eyes, turn the volume loud...still make me shiver..

  62. A.... ....

    Amazing song. By the way... play at 1.25 speed for SOLSTICE!

  63. a.... b....

    one the best songs ever written

  64. J.... C....

    GFTO is Yes's last great album, Imo...

  65. t.... ....

    Transcendent..

  66. A.... C....

    Je n'avais d'yeux que pour eux et genesis même si j'aimais plusieurs autres groupes.

  67. P.... S....

    Perfection. From the opening flurry on the grand piano through the epic climax.

  68. h.... ....

    Thanks Uploader. a Masterpiece. i got my old generation dad drunk in 1980 and put this track on. He hated modern music of all kinds. It was Mario Lanza or nothin. He said thats a good track shes a good singer.


    He hated my progresive rock music since 1971 when he was torchured by my Zeppelin sounds from my bedroom. Hed say can you turn that zeff thing down. Id say if you dont like it dont listen. God imagine if i played Geddy from Rush hed have had a fit

  69. V.... ....

    That heavenly ascension is breathtaking.

  70. M.... ....

    Oh England, how can you create this..AND the Spice Girls?!?

  71. M.... ....

    You can really tell Howe was regularly practicing back then, damn.

  72. d.... ....

    I always go back to this song to center and cleanse my soul. The ending is a glimpse of heaven.

  73. a.... ....

    No other Rock group can do it quite like Yes. Not only are they musical masters but they have defined a generation of nuts like myself who where lucky enough to be exposed to their talent and genious. I was hooked after I heard Roundabout.

  74. K.... ....

    Along with the entire "Tales" album, Close to the Edge, and Gates of Delirium, this is one of their most lyrically profound and musically devastating works. What an amazing legacy to leave the world. Seeing this live was truly a spiritual transformation. I was lucky to be in the front row for the "Round" tours debuting this material. Beautiful. <3 Some amazing trivia: The pipe organ tracks for this song (and album) were recorded over a telephone line! It turned out to be the most efficient way to run lines to the church where it was, and the audio signal, as one can hear, wasn't too bad :D

  75. G.... R....

    The Wakeman Howe chemistry is out of this world

  76. k.... k....

    143 seriously unhappy people

  77. R.... K....

    How did they compose this masterpiece?!

  78. D.... S....

    Rick in church. Blinding

  79. D.... S....

    Good recording.

  80. D.... S....

    Very spiritual song.

  81. D.... C....

    Not live, just on the speakers lol

  82. D.... C....

    This is the band that will be playing for my funeral

  83. P.... C....

    This song is evidence of how music when orchestrated masterfully can affect our subconscious in ways we never imagine. This is a masterpiece and it truly has a high vibration.

  84. r.... h....

    ☆☆YES ☆☆

  85. K.... S....

    This is the Music played in Heaven. So Beautiful. I feel so sorry for those who will not commit the time to listen to this complete Master Piece of Music. It is not Rock it is a Symphony and Total Choir played out by 5 guys, and they could do it Live!

  86. E.... B....

    I need an effects pedal now. All these years with just wah and distortion. Now I need at least a phaser. PHUCK. This is what happens when fucking rocket scientists, philosophers, mystics, and neurosurgeons, and maybe some angels form a band.

  87. A.... B....

    Keith emerson and Rick Wakeman the only ones

    A.... B....

    + Tony Banks : )

  88. A.... O....

    This is absolute nectar. I love this song and I love where the music takes me.

  89. r.... s....

    love this song. hy vibration goes

  90. J.... R....

    Flew to Sydney to see anniversary concerts , the guy standing next to me was in tears on this track.nuff said

  91. J.... G....

    My favorite Yes song by far, and I think also Alan White's peak. I think he's the grooviest of Yes's drummers, but still loving Bruford's work. Are there any others?

  92. D.... C....

    YES...is Awesome...!!!

  93. S.... P....

    March 30, 2019 anyone?

  94. T.... ....

  95. P.... M....

    But if you flying in the cosmos, you have most chance to find, 5 stars shining in the sky, but not 5 guys shining like the diamond like them

  96. K.... O....

    This is a great ROCK SYNPHONY! WE ALL HAVE TO PLAY OUR PARTS.
    REACH BACK HELP A BROTHER UP. IF YOU CAN😎⚡🐐🏇🎯🎓⭐

  97. U.... P....

    La mejor pieza de rock sinfónico jamás escrita

  98. c.... ....
