flood

There is something I want to give
I think i know what it is
I would rather die
Than never live

I could never be heartless
Never could take that sin
To swim in the ocean
Is all there is

I would like protection
sun on my thin skin
Just to feel the wind
When I close my eyes

I know the time has come
Well before I'm done
Taste a vast sea
Feel some peace

I want to feel some relief
Like no one to blame
My eyes to see the child
My God my angels

Where is the hope
Who is there to love
I could use these things
But where should I go

I know the place of peace
in the rivers of belief
running through streets
behind walls in me

I would like to touch a flame
feel two dark clouds dissappear
survive a poison rain
burning down love

all I can do in this flood
Beaten and blown by a wind
If only to hold there
I could see rest
