The tide is slow He walks the shore Dreams and is singing For the wicked a lullaby In every moment giving In every second living Just a heartbeat away Just a heartbeat away In every word he's spoken Kept every vow unbroken Just a heartbeat away Just a heartbeat away For the sleepless a lullaby Soothing voices Calling, awaken Teardrops, laughter I'm blessed, forsaken Tie me, guide me Free me, encage me Sing me, softly, Lead me, Unfrighten What I can't see We follow the piper's dawning A star in a cloudless morning Just a heartbeat away Just a heartbeat away Whenever we're prone to give in Whenever we're far from living A heartbeat's step each day From the chosen path we stray For the restless a lullaby Soothing voices Calling, awaken Teardrops, laughter I'm blessed, forsaken Tie me, guide me Free me, encage me Sing me, softly, Lead me, Unfrighten What I can't see Wastelands – we are scattered without a trace We are stranded (we are stranded) Quicksand – slowly spiraling out of life We're falling deep (we're feeling deep) Confined- we are wretched and all we seek Understanding (understanding) We'll find – our heart is a promised land Awaiting us, awaiting us Soothing voices Calling, awaken Teardrops, laughter I'm blessed, forsaken Tie me, guide me Free me, encage me Sing me, softly, Lead me, Unfrighten What I can't see
