[Verse 1]
I traded silver tides
For feet that bruise and ache
Left my song in the foam
So I could reach your face
The shore was cold as stone
The wind kept calling low
But I kept moving on
For one small hand to hold
[Pre-Chorus]
And when the dark came up
I heard your little cry
I felt my broken throat
Still answer from inside
[Chorus]
Close your eyes,
Don’t be afraid.
I came back through the storm
I gave my voice away
Close your eyes,
I’m here today.
I wore the sea like fire
Just to find my child again
[Verse 2]
My melody was gold
It shone beneath the waves
Now every note I loved
Is hidden in the chain
But I don’t miss the deep
When your heartbeat starts to sing
One tiny breath from you
Is worth everything
[Pre-Chorus]
So let the oceans rage
Let all my old worlds fall
I’ve crossed the edge of pain
To answer one small call
[Chorus]
Close your eyes,
Don’t be afraid.
I came back through the storm
I gave my voice away
Close your eyes,
I’m here today.
I wore the sea like fire
Just to find my child again
[Bridge]
If they ask what I became
Tell them love is what I chose
A mother with empty hands
And a heart that overflows
[Bridge]
And though the songs are gone
They live in what I do
Every scar, every step
Is a hymn that leads to you
[Final Chorus]
Close your eyes,
Don’t be afraid.
I came back through the storm
I gave my voice away
Close your eyes,
I’m here today.
I wore the sea like fire
Just to find my child again
Close your eyes,
Hear my heart remain.
I lost my beautiful song
But I gained your name
