I often wonder as I look out on the ocean
Does it know its depth?
Your home is cradled in the largest of hands,
Part of your heart lives in that ocean,
Part of my heart lives there with you.
I stand face to face with pain and I weigh it,
And it weighs me.
And we decide together like face to face fighters about to match
Who will swing first, who will duck, and who will fall.
And as the eagles sing
Something about a ‘new kid in town’
And that deep unknowing ocean saves your heart
I often wonder as I look in on pain
Does it know its depth?
Your home will be cradled in the largest of hands.
I will know all is not lost
Because I will be there watching you soar between horizons
And I will stand face to face with pain and weigh it
And it will weigh me
Like a two lovers poised heart to heart to dance.
And the eagles will still sing
And the boat will still rock
And part of my heart will still live with you.
