Sea of Forgiveness
Claudia Schmidt
You've dragged your broken body to the altar of your dreams
The view from here is breathtaking, the sky on fire, it seems
And buzzards pierce the coming dark like swords across the moon
And everything will play out soon
And if you must be swept away, let it be on the sea of for-giveness, forgiveness
It's a wonder you could make it from so low and dark a place
You're cold up here and naked, and the wind's harsh on your face
You almost had forgotten that you built so high and strong
Sometimes everything just turns out wrong
And if you must be swept away, let it be on the sea of for-giveness, forgiveness
Don't you love the sound of beating wings, they set your heart astir
You thought it might be eagles, but it's buzzards now, you're sure
Hey, buzzards aren't so bad, you know they have a job to do
They do it well and they move on through
And if you must be swept away, let it be on the sea of for-giveness, forgiveness
