swallowed in the [sea]

i want to sit behind a rhodes piano, and suddenly know every note and every key.

i want to visit london. and tokyo. and israel. and africa. and the ocean, yes the ocean. i want to stand and feel the water. we are land locked. stuck. miles and hours away. i feel so small near the water. incredibly small and incredibly safe.

i want to ride my bicycle. with basket in tow. to get popsicles. and lay in the park.

i want to see brand new things and paint and be inspired by people. all sorts of people. all kinds.

my thought is this: this life is so short. blink of an eye short. so lets live. and love. a lot. live life to its fullest. serving and giving and loving. and hoping. lots of hope. full of hope. and joy, yes that too.

i am stressed. but calm. God is good. always. he just cant be anything else.

You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that's what made me see
Where I was going wrong
You put me on a shelf
And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line
And hung me out to dry
And darling that's when I
Decided to go to see you

You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me realize
What I could not see

And I could write a book
The one they'll say that shook
The world, and then it took
It took it back from me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you'll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

The streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

Oh what good is it to live
With nothing left to give
Forget but not forgive
Not loving all you see

Oh the streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well that's where I belong
And you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
