i want to make it so my past stands still
i need to rise above my weakened will
i sing to heal myself, not you as well
i’ll build a fire, with air to breathe
i’ll call the rain, the stars, my scars to bleed
and with my sword i’ll end your endless need
and by the time you wake, i will be far gone
and though my heart will break, i’ll keep moving on
i’ll leave behind the pain, the mud; debris
i’ll make a little raft from sticks and weeds
i’ll knit my sail to hold my freedom
i’ll raise the wind to blow me back to me
i’ll ride the ebb and flow, that ocean beast
i’ll ask the moon to guide me gracefully
and by the time you wake, i will be far gone
and though my heart will break, i’ll keep moving on
and by the time you wake, i will be far gone
and though my heart will break, i’ll keep moving on
the time you wake
and by the time you wake
