Tides - A Hope For Home

Brother, we were so close, like shoremen out to sea

Sharing our hearts on decks carved from rotten trees

Brother, you found the Lord and set sail for different seas

Leaving the crew to die, ignoring helpless pleas from lesser men.

Brother, when doubt set in, you set your ship ablaze

Drowning the fools aboard for wanting to believe in something more than them

Brother, you found a way to sever heart from limb-

I wonder whose hand you’ll seek when midnight storms set in

Brother!

Open your eyes!

Because, although we see things differently

Your blood is red like mine

And at the end of all things coming

Will we be washed of all our pride?

Will we help each other swim

Or be taken by the tides?

Show me where your bones release

And tell me how you find your peace

When every word you’ve spoken turns to knives

You’ll tear the truth of men out from their eyes

From their eyes

(From their eyes)

Show me!

(From their eyes)

Show me!

(From their eyes)

The storm is setting in as new rain starts to fall-

The ship begins to lurch, its speed becomes a crawl

The lower decks are filled with the ocean’s mighty wake

The sails torn in the wind, the bow finally breaks

The sun is in your eyes with the helm still in your grasp

For when the depths embrace your stead

You’ll be alone at last
