The Tempest

The waves, like cavalry
Grow with the wind
And the ship is not rowing
She knows she's not going to win
The water's too deep
It could pull her down
Swiftly and clean
It's the fight that will kill her
So she gives herself up to the wind

And the tempest is raging
It's caving in the sky
And the tempest is raging
Couldn't tame it if she tried
And the tempest is raging
And the tempest is raging

The rain's pouring down
It seems never to cease
And though it tatters her so
It is, oh, such a sweet sweet release
For it swallows her whole
Till she's forced to see herself through
So when the waters recede
She'll emerge freed and renewed

And the tempest is raging
It's caving in the sky
And the tempest is raging
Couldn't tame it if she tried
And the tempest is raging
Oh the tempest is raging
Oh the tempest is raging

Come all my friends
The danger has passed
The sky's opened wide
The sun's shining at last
A rainbow is high
And a mist on the hill
Don't hide your eyes
This is life you have lived

Run away, sweet child, run away
You have weathered the storm
Now the horizon awaits
Sit in your eyes and see your truth
Shining like beacons
Light the way for you

Over and over the weather will change
There'll be peace, there'll be calm
And then the tempest will rage
But there's a fire inside you
As bright as the day
Open your soul
Let it guide your way

Run away, sweet child, run away
You have weathered the storm
Now the horizon awaits
Sit in your eyes and see your truth
Shining like beacons
Light the way for you

Shining like beacons
Shining like beacons
As the waves grow with the wind
Like cavalry, grow with the wind
Like cavalry, like cavalry
Grow with the wind
