Oh Life (There Must Be More)
Waves roll out
Out to sea
Tasting the saltwater
Tears on her cheek
Morning breaks
She's not there
Who could ever find her?
Who would even care?
No one heard
No one came
No angel of mercy
Appears to know her name
Where is hope
When words fail
All the colours running
Inside when life turns pale
In the dock the boats are harboured
Where the water's cold and still
"Oh life," she cries, "I've lost the will"
From the bridge she sees a lifetime
Being washed upon the shore
"Oh life," she cries, "There must be more"
Tides roll in
Waters rise
Any chance of reason
Only clouds her eyes
Arms of grace
She won't feel
All the wounds inside her
That time can never heal
The city lights shine seaward
Swirling in a trance
Her eyes upon the water
Alone in her last dance
From the docks the boats are leaving
As she cries into the dawn
"Oh life, I'm barely holding on"
And she sees her future falling
'Til it finds the ocean floor
"Oh life," she cries, "There must be more"
There must be more
And with the early light
She'll sail into the clear
The winds are all behind her
The hour's almost here
From the bridge she hears the voices
Turn into a roar
"Oh life," she cries, "There must be more"
On the dock her soul is sinking
But her spirit longs to soar
"Oh life," she cries, "There must be more"
There must be more
There must be more
Oh life, I'm barely holding on
There must be more
There must be more
Oh life, there must be something more...
