The Sea Will
How many more 'til we run this ship ashore?
How many more 'til the sea has had enough?
I gave you my love and my hope and my life
I gave you my bread and my sweat and my strife
I bled for my god, my country, and my wife
Tell me where did it get me?
How many more 'til we win this pointless war?
And how many tears, bodies in bags stacked on the floor
I gave you my teeth, and my skin and my bones
I gave you my future for the promise of gold
I gave my sons and my daughters, oh lord
What more can you take o' me?
And the Sea will let us come inside
Heal us and feed us and take all our lives
The Sea will hold us deep inside
Sing to us softly in the coldest of nights
How many more 'til this list becomes a yaw
Home of the brave. Lies and rocks drag us under the waves
I gave you my body, my sins, and my sores
I gave you my dreams left by the door
I gave you my promise I'd see you no more
How could a good woman leave me?
And the Sea will let us come inside
Heal us and feed us and take all our lives
The Sea will hold us deep inside
Sing to us softly in the coldest of nights
How many more 'til you take this ship as yours
Now can you see? You're as shipwrecked and guilty as me
I trusted your word to speak in my name
I gave you my voice and released you from blame
I left you to hold our truth and our flame
It's time for me to take the wheel
It's time for me to take the wheel
And the Sea will let us come inside
Heal us and feed us and take all our lives
The Sea will hold us deep inside
Sing to us softly in the coldest of nights
The Sea will let us come inside
Heal us and feed us and take all our lives
The Sea will hold us deep inside
Sing to us softly in the coldest of nights
How many more 'til the sea has had enough?
I gave you my love and my hope and my life
I gave you my bread and my sweat and my strife
I bled for my god, my country, and my wife
Tell me where did it get me?
How many more 'til we win this pointless war?
And how many tears, bodies in bags stacked on the floor
I gave you my teeth, and my skin and my bones
I gave you my future for the promise of gold
I gave my sons and my daughters, oh lord
What more can you take o' me?
And the Sea will let us come inside
Heal us and feed us and take all our lives
The Sea will hold us deep inside
Sing to us softly in the coldest of nights
How many more 'til this list becomes a yaw
Home of the brave. Lies and rocks drag us under the waves
I gave you my body, my sins, and my sores
I gave you my dreams left by the door
I gave you my promise I'd see you no more
How could a good woman leave me?
And the Sea will let us come inside
Heal us and feed us and take all our lives
The Sea will hold us deep inside
Sing to us softly in the coldest of nights
How many more 'til you take this ship as yours
Now can you see? You're as shipwrecked and guilty as me
I trusted your word to speak in my name
I gave you my voice and released you from blame
I left you to hold our truth and our flame
It's time for me to take the wheel
It's time for me to take the wheel
And the Sea will let us come inside
Heal us and feed us and take all our lives
The Sea will hold us deep inside
Sing to us softly in the coldest of nights
The Sea will let us come inside
Heal us and feed us and take all our lives
The Sea will hold us deep inside
Sing to us softly in the coldest of nights
