lyrics

Look across the water now
Is there something that I see
Silhouetted in the mist
Waitin there for me
To find my way across
this rugged struggle of the sea
and settle down into a place
of peaceful serenity

It’s been so long since I’ve found
A world that I know
who takes the things that no one sees
And learns to make them show
But how far off could someone be
To think that this is real
While looking back at ourselves
And how we used to feel

I lay my head down
Hoping that I see
Something remindin me
That though I seem strong
There ain’t nothing I need
More than to simply be
In a world that seems
To take my soul and set it free

Look across the water now
Is there something that you see
A struggle for a certain life
That keeps bringing you to your knees
But how you find your way across
The struggle of the sea
Will set the tone for the only
Life you really need

I lay my head down
Hoping that I see
Something remindin me
That though I seem strong
There ain’t nothing I need
More than to simply be
In a world that seems
To take my soul and set it free

about

B.R. Lively Austin, Texas

As you dance in the dark
of a forever tomorrow
You may never want
to see the sun again

As you weep with tears
of a forever sorrow
You may wish the sun
had never risen

But if you stand in the still
beating heart of a storm
with eyes wide open
You will see a forever peace
and know this star
could never cease
its shining ... more
