Song from a single mother's perspective
Beginner Acoustic Guitar, Vocals, and Lyrics
I am more of a lyricist, than a singer/songwriter. I do this for the fun of it, and for the love of music....and because I am usually really bored!

Story behind the song
I have a lot of friends who are (or were) single mothers, as was my mother at times, and I think it illustrates their strength. It's about waking up and realizing that their happiness, and that of their children, is in their hands
Lyrics
I was in a deep sleep and heard the phone ring I couldn't wake and thought God had taken me I opened my eyes, saw the Caller ID It wasn't heaven, or him calling me That woke me up and I finally see I'm 25 and I'm alive and free No time to be tired, No time to weep Go a date with ev'ry day left in my life to keep Chorus: I was asleep but now I'm awake Been doin' the givin', now I'm gonna take This life I've been livin', and try to make It through with a heart that will refuse to break I was in a deep sleep and heard the baby cry How could I say it's okay when that was a lie Wipe your tears, Calm your fears, cause Mommy is here Daddy's been gone for so long, your Mommy don't care That woke me up and I finally see Your 2 years old and your the one consoling me No time to be angry, no time for shame He was a player, but now it's our game Bridge: Now I'm wide awake and he's long gone I've been holdin' on tight without holdin' on Now I'm holdin' her and there's nothing wrong How could he just close his eyes to a love that strong Chorus: I was asleep but now I'm awake Been doin' the givin', now I'm gonna take This life I've been livin' and try to make It through with my eyes open for my daughter's sake
