The Sea

all i see are my friends drowning in weakness
oh the sea, the sea, i see the tide
coming in to sweep us off our feet
then drop us down, consumes us at our worse

all i can wonder at is looking up
with doubt and anger pulling us down
the new anchor, the new gravity
let loose your grip and let go of their legs

may we know for sure that the sun sets
for only hours at times
and rises every morning with something new
and that we see everything then

suffering and troubles may bend our backs
make sore our arms as the burden rests heavy
but they bring out in us perseverance
and then the story begins

from perseverance, hope blossoms out
and hope may never disappoint
for it was made to make light the rocked heart
that hope will stay with us forever
