Bright Sadness

[Intro]

This is such a beautiful place, this has got to be the closest thing to heaven

[Verse]

A bright sunrise through shattered glass

A fountain of youth slipping through the cracks

I drag my feet through perfect sand

Toward a future I no longer understand

But my daughters' collection of broken shells

Teach me I can still learn lessons if I let myself

[Chorus 1]

"I'll be alright, I'll be alright, I'll be alright"

It's been a year at the mercy of a merciless tide

But now we're here, clothes barely dry

We rеturn to the ocean one morе time

For you

[Refrain]

In the water

We pay attention to one another

In the water, we remember

That nothing, even death, lasts forever

[Chorus 2]

I wanna swim, I wanna swim, I wanna try

To trust in the mercy of the merciless tide

My mother taught me all will be reconciled

God, what a gift to be my mother's child

[Chorus 3]

I wanna swim, I wanna swim, and close my eyes

Be swept up in the mercy of the merciful tide

My mother believed I will be reconciled

God, what a gift to be my mother's child

[Refrain]

In the water, we remember

That nothing, even death, lasts forever
