The Waters they Rise Lyrics

The gulf between us still divides

Like the parting of a sea

The tide with which we'll reconcile

Is a product of our greed

Not a greed for money or lust

Not for fortune or fame

But a need to be heard above the rest of the herd

Drowning out voices we shame

Anticipate the kindness within

It exists in most all of us

Dissipate the hate we create

By bringing the roar to a hush

The waters they rise, incessantly so

Creeping closer to home

While a rising tide is said to lift all ships

A torrent always comes with a storm

Rushing too fast watching floodgates fail

Causing us to wade in despair

It's the need to see allow the sea to recede

Only then can our hearts be repaired

Anticipate the kindness within

It exists in most all of us

Dissipate the hate we create

By bringing the roar to a hush

Rushing too fast watching floodgates fail

Causing us to wade in despair

It's the need to see allow the sea to recede

Only then can our hearts be repaired

Anticipate the kindness within

It exists in most all of us

Dissipate the hate we create

By bringing the roar to a hush

The waters they rise, incessantly so

Creeping closer to home

While a rising tide is said to lift all ships

A torrent always comes with a storm

Awaiting the calm that follows a storm

I will don my boots

Doing my part by speaking my heart

But doing so respecting your roots
