This Sea Inside Of Me
There is this sea inside of me screaming in my ear
It tells me just how useless I am... reminding me of my fear
There is this sea inside of me calling out my name
It wants me to join the rest... forevermore remain
There is this sea inside of me that causes me to hide
It is this life I call my own that I just can not abide
There is this sea inside of me that tells me to run away
And yet there is a grain of doubt that causes me to stay
There is this sea inside of me that builds and overflows
Where this life will take me... no one on earth knows
This sea inside lays dormant now... but only for a while
And during this time I'm thankful, because my heart can finally smile.
