You were carved out of the sea
|
Watermarked by your ancestry
|
In a tug of war between the tide and me
|
What felt like loss was a victory
|
Cause you were swept ashore like bottles holding prayers
|
|
You were carved out of the earth
|
Safe and sound in your second birth
|
Gravity has tied your ankle to the shore
|
As a lighthouse tamed the endless ocean war
|
|
Against the calming light our silhouettes are changing shape
|
The stories you've been told have made you brave
|
|
Such inheritance was formed within the sand
|
Like the shells you gather in the safety of your hands
|
Dive in with your eyes closed
|
For the life you were born to claim
|
And the water will be paralyzed
|
By the courage you contain
|
And the flutter of your earnest heart
|
It will fill the silent seas
|
And all will be restored in your memory
|
