Adrift lyrics

Beneath the waves I drift and make my home Under black skies I sink and wander alone As foam floats by the light evades the deep We all must drown in never-ending seas As strong currents drag us all in their wake We grasp for air and witness our minds fade Houses we build of brittle empty shells Shall too, in time, be dragged to seas profound Close to the shore and feeling sunny warmth A child begins his path toward the ocean's floor He swims, he smiles unknowingly he goes But abysmal trenches always under him lurk Youth goes by, though unaware he is Inevitably all dives he takes he’ll miss For no matter how curious he may be There are secret depths we can never survey
