a moment of harmony (lyrics)
[Verse]
The water calls to me
there's a cold breeze on my face
and sand in my shoes
in the unhurried slide
down a sand dune
[Verse 2]
The sky looks like
it could go on forever
and I take in
the wonder of the
clear blue
[Verse 3]
I feel so small
so humbled
by the harsh crash of waves
and how beautiful
how merciless
the ocean can be
[Chorus]
I could be a grain of sand
or a sea star
washed up on this beach
drawn here by the waters
that whispered my name
and said
come
stay a while
rest between the chaos
and the calm
in a moment the world
will start again
[Verse 3]
Strands of seaweed
and shards of shells
collect along the shoreline
a beautiful brief history
that they touched these shores
only to be buried in the sand
or washed back out
to sea
[Verse 4]
And it reminds me
everything is momentary
even these moments
of hardship
that drive me to the ocean
to forget
[Chorus]
I could be a grain of sand
or a sea star
washed up on this beach
drawn here by the waters
that whispered my name
and said
come
stay a while
rest between the chaos
and the calm
in a moment the world
will start again
[Verse 5]
When I'm troubled
the water calls to me
and it whispers
the things I need to hear
The water calls to me
there's a cold breeze on my face
and sand in my shoes
in the unhurried slide
down a sand dune
[Verse 2]
The sky looks like
it could go on forever
and I take in
the wonder of the
clear blue
[Verse 3]
I feel so small
so humbled
by the harsh crash of waves
and how beautiful
how merciless
the ocean can be
[Chorus]
I could be a grain of sand
or a sea star
washed up on this beach
drawn here by the waters
that whispered my name
and said
come
stay a while
rest between the chaos
and the calm
in a moment the world
will start again
[Verse 3]
Strands of seaweed
and shards of shells
collect along the shoreline
a beautiful brief history
that they touched these shores
only to be buried in the sand
or washed back out
to sea
[Verse 4]
And it reminds me
everything is momentary
even these moments
of hardship
that drive me to the ocean
to forget
[Chorus]
I could be a grain of sand
or a sea star
washed up on this beach
drawn here by the waters
that whispered my name
and said
come
stay a while
rest between the chaos
and the calm
in a moment the world
will start again
[Verse 5]
When I'm troubled
the water calls to me
and it whispers
the things I need to hear
