Coming Up For Air

‘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)
