We crest like waves and then we fall
deep inside a blinding squall
We are an ocean of emotion
wrestling restless with life and all

The careful plans we tireless make
in one instant we turn and break
if ever the winds ask us why
our tidal waves just roll and quake

Tossed and turned
in the night we yearned
to calm our raging heart
and somehow learn

Will ever an ocean even sea?
Could calm be a way inside of me?
You churn this heart all about
and expect my strife at peace to be

Roll on thunder
Pull in and under
You break our surface
and tear asunder

But through the night
You set us right
and the morning calms us
at first light
