I am like the ocean
when the surface is like glass
laying in a patient wait
for another phase to come to pass
in my depths the creatures lurk
consuming one another
everything was born of me
and yet I'm no one's mother
I collect the sunshine's heat
and carry it with currents
I collect the moon and stars
and move with their inertia
I will swell and I will crash
and I will become stormy
I will raise my levels
as the earth continues warming
get caught in my rip-tide
feel my currents pull you in
I'll take you under
then let you surface again
I will hold the answers
to the questions no one's asking
I will be a mirror for
the face that you are masking
I'll reflect upon the sky
I will create clouds
they'll rain tears upon the land
to bring my love into the ground
I will gently rock the boat
that's resting in the twilight
I will sink another
only when I feel the time's right
I will give and I will take
and when the storm has passed
I'll be like the ocean
when the surface is like glass
get caught in my rip-tide
feel my currents pull you in
I'll take you under
then let you surface again
I'm rising like the tide
that's swallowing the shore
I hold so much inside
can't hold it anymore
