The Ocean

from Speak by Me The Mountain

lyrics

I’ve lost all sight of the shore
Now the sea becomes my lungs
No memory
Just the man that I've become
Raise the mast
We ride the winds
No anchor to
Hold me down
Then why am I
Sinking like a stone

Oh, my captain
What of before
Dreaming of a home
Take a step
Forth unknown
Walk upon the dry land of the shore

Such a vivid mind, Oh, the shore I’ve left behind

I see the signs of a storm
But these waters speak of lies
No answer in reply
Just the silence I've left behind
Oh captain
My captain
I ask why
Oh captain
My captain
Oh captain why

I yearn for more
Just, take, a breath

Oh, my captain
What of before
Dreaming of a home

Take a step
Forth unknown
Walk upon the dry land of the shore
Oh Captain, My Captain
I ask You why
Oh Captain, My Captain
I ask You why

Just a feat of passion
No time to deny
Oh Father of mine
Take me to your shores
Captain oh captain
Oh take me home
Oh captain my captain
Take me home
My captain, my captain, oh…
I was blind
A course you have defined
Raise the mast ride the wind
Set the sails and take me home
