Peace


I heard your voice, I saw your face; Once upon a long, long time ago.

You held me by the hand and guided me across the sand.

But I turned away, I didn't see your face anymore, I let go.

I let go and I ran deeply into the sea.

I'm falling, I'm crying desperately into the sea.

I can't breathe, I can't see you, I need you to catch me.

I'm lost, I'm lost.

There were different emotions running through my head, I didn't know what was true.

I played tug of war with you.

I reached out for your hand,

I couldn't see it, I couldn't feel it, it wasn't there to pull me out.

I prayed, pleaded for you to come back to me.

All of a sudden you're here in front of me

All of my troubles go away, my darkness disappears.

I’m at PEACE. I'm not falling, You've caught me,

You’re holding me in your arms.
