Lyrics The Embrace - Meadows

The Embrace

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
