ENDLESS – ANNA AWE – LYRICS


Intro:
There’s adventure in my soul
I long for something much more
It’s a hard path but I don’t go it alone 

Verse:
I want to hold you oh so close
Along the road we do not know
Together we’re strong
We move ahead against all odds 

My love for you will never go
My love for you will find its way back home
Even when we lose ourselves so deep in the unknown
 
Chorus:
I’ll follow you til the ends of the Earth
Climb every mountain to be where you are
I will go til the end of the road
Cause our love is endless

I will take all of the hits that you take
I will fight all of your fights every day
I will take all of the pain that comes with it
Cause our love is endless

Verse:
I began this path with you
We’ve made it to such a high up view 
This unbreakable love is the force that got us through

Our love can fight the hottest fire 
Our love grows stronger with each night we survive
In love, we reach the greatest heights of all time

Chorus 2

These include the words of Recovery Poems set to music, a piece inspired by Sarah Butler’s text Manchester Oxford Road Corridor, and a composition called The Quietening created in collaboration with the choir during lockdown.

A home recording of my piano piece made during the second lockdown

In Your House, The Ocean [Demo]

Wild being
You have life and love
And everything is free
Wild being
You don't have to prove
That you're allowed to breathe
Shiny bits of metal
Singing 'let me eat'
Tiny little numbers
In their electronic pockets

Wild being
You are born from soil
And that's where you return
Wild being
You are made of earth
And now we watch it burn
Shiny bits of metal
Singing 'let me eat'
Tiny little numbers
In their electronic pockets

There are so many of us
There are so many of us
There are so many of us
So so so so so so so so so so so

Many of us
