When I grow weary of playing these games
That's when I'll remember to call on your name
A name I call home that knows no time and place
One I shall see past this endless race
Distantly dwelled in a land far away
I will keep memory of your warm embrace
And when I am broken, rejected and shamed
I know that you'll always love me the same
Tenderly nurtured and lovingly raised
Stern through transgressions for all of my ways
For you have me running deep in your veins
Cradle me here, come sunshine or rain
Oh high is the tide
And broken is the vessel
Carries my soul
In its way to shore
En route to your door
♪
And if I were to find one, with whom I shall lay?
I'll always remember with love too comes pain
Children so hopeful, so fragile and sure
Born into life, so ill with no cure
I'll promise to build us a name they call home
Safe sound and rested, calm and secure
