On The Surface - Civil Twilight

It was cold on the docks that night

As a frozen white light

Shone across my shoes

As I stood in the darkest blue

There came a light towards me

On the water that lay before me

And I could not wait to touch

The frozen hands that had felt so much

Oooooooo

I heard a song inside of me

It resonated off the sea

And all the chorus voices sang it back to me

If life is an ocean

Then I’m only on the surface

This is where they come in

Where some lives end and some begin

And this is where I like to stand

And watch the swirling ways of man

To stir humanity with visions of dignity

To see what will conspire

If I throw myself into its fire

Oooooooo

I heard a song inside of me

It resonated off the sea

And all the chorus voices sang it back to me

If life is an ocean

Then we’re only on the surface

Ooooooooo

I heard a voice inside of me

I looked up and I saw the sky scream

And there was light everywhere

If life is an ocean

Then I must be on the surface

Only on the surface
