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 till 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

'Cause 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 forgot it, what giving and living can be

What it can mean?

First steps to being better, doin' the smallest things

'Cause you keep me, keep me, keep me

I've been locked and you're the key

Keep me, keep me, keep me

Till I'm strong enough to see to be free
