I was drowning in my anger and my mystery,
|
someone once told me
|
it's a diver you must learn to be
|
so I dived to the bottom of the ocean
|
I made friends with the things that
|
I feared, and didn't I rise to the tides
|
and I was freed
|
|
I was climbing up the mountain with
|
My excess baggage getting me down, down, down
|
My strength had all deserted me, mistakes
|
They weigh so heavily, Lord I fell to the ground
|
Then I looked inside my suitcase full
|
Of trouble and strife and all my victories
|
And sorrows of my past life and didn't I rise
|
and I was freed
|
|
I was dreaming we were eagles, flying
|
high, high to the edge of the sky
|
we vowed before the universe, stars
|
lit the space like some great church
|
where many candles shine
|
and your eyes were bright and firey
|
like the day that we met, I remembered
|
how I felt before our war made me forget.
|
And didn't I rise to the sky
|
and I was freed
|
|
Now I realise, these obstacles
|
that we find - are teachers and the guides -
|
in my life, in my life, in my
|
|
I still love you, and I know
|
you still love me too
|
|
To be freed...
