lyrics

Found our fire by the sea,
Burning tides were given me,
None could see the things we saw,
Disappearing from the shore.

Weaving yourself through my soul,
All you had done soon would show,
In the night I felt you there,
Sunset caress, I know where.

High on hills I knew I'd be,
Worked all my days to be free,
Fresh faced in the sea we stood,
Lived because we believed we could.

Buried all my sins at sea,
Told my story to the trees,
Gathered round I heard them speak,
Witnesses of our release.

Every limit of my sight,
Freeing me from every flight,
Carried down by rhythm's tide,
Waking in the savior's night.

In your night I stayed,
Silent I remained,
On your shores I'll stray,
All my days, All my days.

Caught me between dreams,
Pulled me out to sea,
Given to this scene,
Blessed are we, Blessed are we,
Blessed are we.

On the waves I danced,
Melody by chance,
Last light was made of songs we played,
To lose our pain.

Fought so hard to sing,
You words that took me in,
But thought is never kind to those who try,
Not to be blind.

Sorrow stripped and torn,
Saved before the dawn,
Keep your day a while,
I'll not mourn,
Of this I'm sure.
