Tide rolls faint on a lonely shore
Footprints blur where the waves implore
Cold foam swirls through the trembling sand
Warm resolve steadies shaking hands
Storm clouds bend over drifting blue
Silent faith guards the faintest clue
Wind lifts shreds of a fading plea
Hope stays close like a rooted tree
Harsh nights steal from the fragile heart
Soft grit fights every tear apart
Courage hums through the restless sea
Strength finds room in the ache of me
Heart keeps firm as the shadows long
Calm grows deep as the nights prolong
Life stays warm though the light seems gone
In the cracks of pain
I hold on
