I've been pushing, pulling Fighting against the tides I've been holding my breath With my eyes open wide I've been waiting for the impact Waiting for the hit that knocks me off my feet I've been staring at the waves now Terrified that they will carry me off to sea Oh, to see The waves break before me And I close my eyes and breathe And I start to wander Further through the sea How could something so wild Something so dangerous also be pure How could something so gentle Something so peaceful also drown and roar Roar I struggle to know which side of you is more Do you love destruction Or do love and peace flow forth Then I start to listen Then I hear a voice that I could not ignore We would not know grace If we did not know pain The contrast of our scars Our scars
