You gave me heaven
when I didn't know
what heaven was

You watched out
for my wounded heart
with grace and love

I held the thunder
under my clouded soul
as it rumbled deep

and you were the one
like an angel
watching me sleep

Storms break hard
on shores like this
The salt can sting
with every kiss

I wrestle the waves
that roll in this sea
I kick at your ocean
that moves the mountain in me

How can I fight
what I desperately need?
where is the courage
to let our love be?

The world is a wonder
and a wheel of pain
It drags my heart under
with pleasure and shame

Yet in the whisper
of a penitent place
I hear my soul echo
with the sound of your name
