Ancient Water |
| Ancient like the water |
| Dissolves my selfish leanings and all the others |
| Guide me |
| You beside me |
| With conviction—my lost invention |
| My child is starving |
| But you keep me, you keep me |
| I’ve been locked and you’re the key |
| You keep me, you keep me |
| You keep me 'til I’m ready to be free |
| Too many wasted days and nights |
| Obsessed with the flickering bits of my life |
| Forgetting what giving and living can be—what it can mean |
| First forgiving myself and stepping outside of my own apathy |
| To see, I just want to be |
| Patient like the forest |
| Stood through thousands fallen |
| Watched the changing evening a million times or more |
| Lead me to the water |
| Take me to the other side |
| And know how much it means, to me |
| Cuz you keep me, you keep me |
| I’ve been locked and you’re the key |
| Too many wasted days and nights |
| Obsessed with the flickering bits of my life |
| I’ve forgotten what giving and living can be—what it can mean |
| First steps to being better is doing the smallest things |
| Cuz you keep me, you keep me |
| You keep me I’ve been locked and you’re the key |
| You keep me, you keep me |
| You keep me 'til I’m strong enough to see |
| To be free |
