Fight the Waves

Fight the Waves

Fight for this child, this child You have found
where I sit in midnight, yearning to belong.
I fight the waves, so you are never drowned.

Waves of motion devour the depths they pound.
I am fearful, always frail, ever wrung.
Fight for this child, this child You have found.

Floods won’t change My name, forever crowned.
Won’t you see that My love suffers long?
I fight the waves, so you are never drowned.

Do You watch my way? Do You hear a sound
beneath pressing waters where there’s no tongue?
Fight for this child, this child You have found

in a place unseen where I was bound.
In fear, I may not believe this is sung:
I fight the waves, so you are never drowned.

I’ve seen you there, in the dark, on the ground,
Watching your heart shatter at a song.
Fight for this child, this child You have found.
I fight the waves, so you are never drowned.
