The Match - The Sea The Sea

To strike the match

And then another

To light the fire

And watch it burn

To see the hour

Turn back to cinder

The ash upon

The lesson learned

If it’s patient

If it’s kind

If it trusts

It just takes time

It just takes time

It just takes time

To strike the match

And then another

To light the fire

And watch the flame

To see the day

Turn back to cinder

To know tomorrow

You can try again

If it’s true

If it’s strong

If it hopes

However long

However long

However long

To strike the match

And then another

To light the fire

And watch it burn

To see the hour

Turn back to cinder

The ash upon

The lesson learned

To strike the match

And then another

And then another

And then

Another

And then another

And then another…
