"Bodies Of Water"

We are the calm before the storm
The safety of a distant shore
The land we're longing, we were torn
In the turmoil we were born

When waves descend upon our heads
Fight the tides and sink again
We can't lose sight until it ends
The push and pull of living

When it all blows over
We're still bodies of water
And when it all goes under
We're still bodies of water

I'm holding on like a lily to the ground
Clinging with the roots I buried down
Unexpected gales try to rip me out
From the foundation that I found

But hope like petals to the wind
I'll try to find my place again
A fragile game of pick up sticks
And you'll be there to piece it

All, back together
Like the rain we fall, back together

When it all blows over
We're still bodies of water
And when it all goes under
We're still bodies of water
We rise and fall

When it all blows over
We're still just bodies of water
And when it all goes under
I won't have to wonder
We're all tied to this together
An ocean of surrender
We're still bodies of water
We'll rise and fall
