Waves that beat upon the shore, they brought no peace Somewhere else I must belong, somewhere for me Who was it left me there, a boy scared and alone? No, I don’t think you heard me calling, always thought, He must not know Surely He would never leave me, wouldn’t leave me here alone You tell me now that I was never on my own? Well pardon me, I don’t remember you at all Cause with my back against the tomb, I called you out But I don’t think I heard your answer, I don’t think I heard a sound I don’t recall you in my anger or remember you around But He answered: Who are you to question me? Do you command the mountains or calm the raging sea? For I am the current, there to save your life A man may find his eye deceiving, a fool holds on to trust his sight A wise man knows that his own feeling may not with the truth align And you think that you have never seen my face? But every moment you’re alive, you know my grace For only death in this whole world is justly deserved And you say that I never answer, just because you have not heard But you don’t know yet how to listen or to understand my words My love, I cared for you I was the comfort you felt in the house of the dead I drove from you Beasts in the night, all of this I have done while you slept All by my design Every chapter and word I’ve written every line All by my design Every chapter and word I’ve written every line
