It'S Not The Way

3:54‘Twas shed on the water Our dreams bound for slaughter Then raised on from low (ooos) The stars in the night Plotted paths to this sight Of a victory bold (ooos) Maybe it’s a low tide? Or courage hitched to our stride? But I can see the distance We’ve traveled on persistant Descending after the climb Sacrifice quelled end times But I can see the sorrow Mixed with joy on the morrow Oh-oh-oh-oh! Comin’ up (ah-ah-ah-ah) for air ‘Twas sparse in the unknown Let the currents take us home (take us home) Comin’ up (ah-ah-ah-ah) for air From deep in the unknown We’re surfacing and coming home (home, take us home) In the fathom of things Hear the ocean it sings Of a weight now in tow (ohs) Navigating reprieve From this path that we’ve weaved Through this story now told (ohs) Maybe it’s a low tide? Or courage hitched to our stride? But I can see the distance We’ve traveled on persistant Descending after the climb Sacrifice quelled end times But I can see the sorrow Mixed with joy on the morrow Oh-oh-oh-oh! Comin’ up (ah-ah-ah-ah) for air ‘Twas sparse in the unknown Let the currents take us home (take us home) Comin’ up (ah-ah-ah-ah) for air From deep in the unknown We’re surfacing and coming home (home, take us home) Have we won the day? Have we conquered the night? Have we exhausted all our luck Before a swelling tide? Have we not the strength? Have we lost precious time? Have we made it to the end With these hearts we can’t hide? Oh-oh-oh-oh! Comin’ up (ah-ah-ah-ah) for air ‘Twas sparse in the unknown Let the currents take us home (take us home) Comin’ up (ah-ah-ah-ah) for air From deep in the unknown We’re surfacing and coming home (home, take us home) (Take us home) (Ooos)
