Waves Transitioning (Lyrics to a Song)- Version 1

It’s not always either or

It’s not always so simple

Problems we face follow us home

Until we leave none of us alone

Oh, I see her face

Oh, blood freshly placed

Oh, earth and air

Oh, shares in her pain

The line between living and dying

Is not always so simple

We don’t have to live forever

But may we not suffer needlessly

Oh, I see slow decline

Oh, I see fears to let go

Oh, our desire to live

Oh, meets our mortality

Hearts get broken then fly above

Hopes get crushed and grow regret

Kindness tethers to our souls

Sun shines through clouds ever dark

We never know our true impact

Words can hurt like stones in arrows

Choose them carefully and know

Goodbyes are only waves transitioning
