Coming up for Air

‘Twas shed on the water

Our dreams bound for slaughter

Then raised on from low (ooos)

The stars in the night

Plotted paths to this sight

Of a victory bold (ooos)

Maybe it’s a low tide?

Or courage hitched to our stride?

But I can see the distance

We’ve traveled on persistant

Descending after the climb

Sacrifice quelled end times

But I can see the sorrow

Mixed with joy on the morrow

Oh-oh-oh-oh!

Comin’ up (ah-ah-ah-ah) for air

‘Twas sparse in the unknown

Let the currents take us home (take us home)

Comin’ up (ah-ah-ah-ah) for air

From deep in the unknown

We’re surfacing and coming home (home, take us home)

In the fathom of things

Hear the ocean it sings

Of a weight now in tow (ohs)

Navigating reprieve

From this path that we’ve weaved

Through this story now told (ohs)

Maybe it’s a low tide?

Or courage hitched to our stride?

But I can see the distance

We’ve traveled on persistant

Descending after the climb

Sacrifice quelled end times

But I can see the sorrow

Mixed with joy on the morrow

Oh-oh-oh-oh!

Comin’ up (ah-ah-ah-ah) for air

‘Twas sparse in the unknown

Let the currents take us home (take us home)

Comin’ up (ah-ah-ah-ah) for air

From deep in the unknown

We’re surfacing and coming home (home, take us home)

Have we won the day?

Have we conquered the night?

Have we exhausted all our luck

Before a swelling tide?

Have we not the strength?

Have we lost precious time?

Have we made it to the end

With these hearts we can’t hide?

Oh-oh-oh-oh!

Comin’ up (ah-ah-ah-ah) for air

‘Twas sparse in the unknown

Let the currents take us home (take us home)

Comin’ up (ah-ah-ah-ah) for air

From deep in the unknown

We’re surfacing and coming home (home, take us home)

(Take us home)

(Ooos)
