Life sneaked upon me from behind shadows and dreams
Drowning my wishes in the icy water of an angry sea
Disappearing under the waves until I can remember them no more

It had been expecting me for a while
As I stood on the thin sand just a stiff wet shell
Watching myself dissolve in the waves
Sighing within the rising water's grasp

I hear love calling through the sound of the wind
With the song of footsteps running towards me
And a kiss of hope

In a whispered lie I tell him I am not afraid
If life has come to claim us
I cannot keep it waiting

Recklessly in the angry tide of Life we shall swim
And against the tide we will prevail
