The Embrace - Meadows

Just like the wind, when it meets with the wave

The ocean opens up‚ and the violence is beneath

She was tossed in the currents

Her hope swept away‚ by the undertow of lies that she had once believed

And this disease‚ into her blood it seeps

It pulled her further, further, into the deep

The heart breaks‚ and it finally.

Oh it finally takes it’s toll

Finding strength isn’t easy, it’s not easy for the tortured soul

The sirens ring so loud

Yet all that could be heard were the cries of a war-torn mother for a son who

wanted nothing to do with her

They rushed her to the room, the lights and faces dim

The only thing keeping her here now‚ are thoughts of him

And this disease, into her blood it seeps

Oh it pulled her further, further, into the deep

So she waits, and he finally, oh he finally answers their calls

He hesitates, to open up, to even open that door at all

«But there’s a hand reaching out for me

Am I worth it, this rescuing?

Am I worth all of this pain?

I’ve been lost, I feel so ashamed.»

The IV’s hanging from her wrists, she’s stretching out her arms

The tears start streaming down her cheeks, her boy has finally returned

But she still sees their father in his face

As the memories rush back, her heart begins to race

«I see your father in your eyes, the way they always tend to meet mine

I notice how they wander, but they always held their shine

Oh how his smile’s just like yours, so tender and so kind

It always calmed my shakey knees, his presence could calm the raging seas

Oh how I miss him everyday, but you can always come back, it’s never too late

I see the boy that we had raised

We both cried ourselves to sleep each night after your father had passed away.»

If there’s breathe inside your lungs, then you have hope that you can cling to

If your heart beats inside your chest, then there’s a home that you can run to

No matter the depths your deeds have brought you, no matter the distance that

you run

God calls us still His sons and daughters

This is unrequited love
