The Waters Below
I am worn down and I am restless
Keep looking to the sky
Cause I’m forgetting where my faith is
This should be easy. This should feel more right.
But I can’t give my pain to you,
I guess I’d rather fight.
Cause I’ve been running through the forest
Of unforgiveness too long
And I’m ready to dive off this cliff
Into the waters below
I feel broken, and I’m still bleeding
Keep looking to the sky
'Cause I’m still trying to find my meaning
This should be easy. This should feel more right.
But I can’t give my pain to you,
I guess I’d rather fight.
In my garden I planted a seed.
A seed of trust covered with identity.
Yea in my garden I planted a seed.
A seed of trust covered with identity
Cause I’ve been running through the forest
Of unforgiveness too long
And I’m ready to dive off this cliff
Into the waters below
You say you love me. You say I’m free.
But I only feel free when you’re here with me.
Well I’ve been running through the forest
And the dark confines of my mind
But I’m ready to come out
And be who you need me to be.
I’ll let you love me.
