I'm looking at the paintings in this great museum
The news of one more shooting made me long to cry
I'd love to work for justice and for peace and freedom
But right now I need a refuge that is quiet and dry
So I come to see the beauty when the world is tragic
An umbrella stops the rain, but it won't dry the sky
This play of light and shadow is transcendent magic
Changing the whole universe, at least inside
In the ocean deep
When the waves are steep
Every hope I keep betrays me
It's the beautiful that saves me
So I'm walking past the priceless works of famous artists
But in between their canvases it's cold white wall
These painters found a crucible for their catharsis
But they knew that no rendition could contain it all
I'm fearful of the riptide in the sea of sorrow
And I don't have any faith to make these waters part
And if I venture out there I would drown a martyr
And It feels so overwhelming I can barely start
In the ocean deep
When the waves are steep
Every hope I keep betrays me
It's the beautiful that saves me
The woman at the coat check hands me back my raincoat
"Stay warm out there" she smiles, and looks me in the eye
I take her simple kindness like we're in the same boat
And we all need some protection from the storm outside
We are underneath the cloud of all this dark emotion
I'll make it through the storm because I warmed my heart
A wooden hull can rest above a deep dark ocean
And a window into beauty is a place to start
In the ocean deep
When the waves are steep
Every hope I keep betrays me
It's the beautiful that saves me
