Tested the water
She held your body
Close to the surface
And let go
Ensured your breath
She made damn sure
When you'd grow up
You wouldn't need her
When the rip tide
Finally stole you
And you remembered to swim
You thanked the lord
To all who'd listen
You gave the credit to "him"
He gave you strength
He helped you hone it
Gave all they had
And you owned it
Dark souls came
They seduced you
Now you play for them
They own that too
When the day comes
You're a champion
Who do you claim to love?
As the film rolls
Gratitude flows
You just gesture above
As I lay myself to sleep I pray that the lord won't take my soul
If I die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to take
As I lay myself to sleep I pray that the lord won't keep my soul
If some should die before they wake which are the ones your lord's forsaken?
