Turn the Tide

Static motion Ever turning But never leaving ground Falling upward Cries unheeded Silence is the loudest sound Ooh Saved by a word that holds me bound Broken vows Thought I'd never go back home Knocked, but the door was never closed Found this pain was self-imposed Torn to pieces Broken heart Quelled emotions Set apart Take the fragments Mended soul Open doorway Make me whole Take a breath Look inside Let dissent rest Turn the tide Lost in a sea of relative truth Is anything absolute? The popular opinion's vision's acute Truth cannot be sold or bought It's not a creation of reason But superior to rational thought So who am I? Show me how to see Past the lens that has been forced on me Where to start? Show me where to go The steps to take and the path to follow I have a higher destiny Something to become A purpose and a meaning Battles to be won Lonely hearts are waiting For a hand to take Time cannot be borrowed There are promises to make I can see the blemish And I can see the stain But water is forgiving And it swallows up the pain I'm learning to see Truth is things as they are And as they will be Torn to pieces Broken heart Quelled emotions Set apart Take the fragments Mended soul Open doorway Make me whole Take a breath Look inside Let dissent rest Turn the tide A crystalline view where my sight was skewed A heart can be good even though it's confused Yet thought and word, carefully choose For the slow march of time will collect all that's due (But mercy forgives) But mercy forgives (It heals) It heals and removes (The chains) The chains from my neck (The weight) The weight from my spine (The things that I gain) The things that I gain (Are what I pursue) Are what I pursue Accept each choice as mine Taste of freedom What was bitter Was honey all along And by falling I am rising In my weakness I'm made strong Torn to pieces Broken heart Quelled emotions Set apart Take the fragments Mended soul Open doorway Make me whole Take a breath Look inside Let dissent rest Turn the tide
