about

Washed upon an unknown shore and searching for someone to help you get back on your feet only to feel let down. Disenchantment on a broader level of mankind’s history of willingness to kill, hate and divide each other over religious and cultural beliefs.

lyrics

I wash on your shore hoping that you will see me before

I fall in the sand hoping that you will hold out your hand

I crawl to your door hoping that you will offer your floor

I can hardly stand hoping that you will hold out your hand

Cause I trust in you see oh to give me the things

That you promised that you would bring

Like love understanding acceptance of all

Cause what I am seeing is hate close the gate

I plant all my seeds hoping that you will meet my needs

Days go by so fast no signs of you only the past

Cause I trust in you see oh to give me the things

That you promised that you would bring

Like love understanding acceptance of all

Cause what I am seeing is hate close the gate

Oh I’ve traveled so far there’s no turning back

I gave you my word now you give it back

Now I wait wait for the sun wait for it to rise

And when that sun it rises up I can’t believe my eyes
