Echo

You are the lighthouse, the seamark

The tempests created this tide

I'm pulled to the black silver ocean

where the current and the heavens collide

You are the brick

I am so unpredictable

led by the current away

Your solid stage is so necessary to save

all those who stray

You are the navigator who never could lead

we were lost in the silver sea

I was the ship who was too proud to ever sink.

I am your thought but the water is amnesia

my name is on the tip of your tongue

My image is slipping

but your memory is gripping it

this is my breath in your lungs

You are the navigator who never could lead

we were lost in the silver sea

I was the ship who was too proud to ever sink.

Echo, my voice is an echo

of places I don't know

and stories I've been told

Echo. We all are connected

a lighthouse a voyage

for history's sake,

will you please take notice?
