Chapter 4 - The Waters I Traveled

Vastness around me, waves and endless sea
Swim hastily, scared by unknown deeps

Wake up

The thing under me hides beneath my feet
A secret disease – is it fake or real?

Awake on a salving shore … The surges have ceased from me
It seems that a saving stream somehow has brought me here
Feel someone is holding me … Wipes traces of wet away
And while all my fears dry out, it dawns on me: you’re here

And here you calm me, safe me, guide me with your light
To wave the shadows, nightmares and my sweat aside

You listen so patiently … To tales you don’t believe
And that’s why you’re so incredibly valuable to me

Soak up my moaning, brave and brighten it up with your light
Endure my selfish, stories … right by my side, right by my side

Light up the sea – little beacon, shine for me!
Define the stream that eventually leads me here!
Relume the deep – fill the ocean with your gleam, please, please

Light up

Wait and rest now, peacefully … take a breath now
Still and silent, waveless sea … for a while not deep
Calm and sound, in harmony – fade it out and leave
Dim horizon, dormant wind – the storm is hiding … it hides from me

Something is rising now … I start to feel it
Still subtle but not so far away
Below the surface of my life … but you taught me to face it
You made me aware of my own line … little beacon, you’re my guide

That’s why I care, why I feel, why you shine night and day
That’s why I’m gracious that your light chases my secret fear away

Chase it away

Rain above me – brave the stormy sea
Swim vigorously – stand the obscure deeps

The thing under me tries to grap my feet
Lights, finally … now I’m out of reach!

The moment I’ll wake up – forever I will stay
And the waters I traveled will be million miles away

Miles away
