Sleeping At Last - Watermark lyrics
[Sleeping At Last - Watermark lyrics]
You were carved out of the sea
Watermarked by our ancestry in a tug of war
Between the tide and me
What felt like loss was a victory
As you were swept ashore
Like bottles holding prayers
Where you were carved out of the earth
Safe and sound in your second birth
Gravity has tied your anchor to the shore
As a lighthouse tames the endless ocean roar
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
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 melody
Watermarked by our ancestry in a tug of war
Between the tide and me
What felt like loss was a victory
As you were swept ashore
Like bottles holding prayers
Where you were carved out of the earth
Safe and sound in your second birth
Gravity has tied your anchor to the shore
As a lighthouse tames the endless ocean roar
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
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 melody
