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
