Coming up for Air

Twas shed on the water
Our dreams bound for slaughter
Then raised on from low
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
The stars in the night
Plotted paths to this sight
Of a victory bold
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Maybe it's a low tide?
Or courage hitched to our stride?
But I can see the distance
We've traveled on persistence
Descending after the climb
Sacrifice quelled end times
But I can see the sorrow
Mixed with joy on the morrow

Oh oh oh oh

Comin' up (ah ah ah ah) for air
Twas sparse in the unknown
Let the currents take us home
Take us home
Comin' up (ah ah ah ah) for air
From deep in the unknown
We're surfacing and coming home
Take us home

In the fathom of things
Hear the ocean, it sings
Of a weight now in tow
(Oh oh oh oh)
Navigating reprieve
From this path that we've weaved
For this story now told
(Oh oh oh oh)

Maybe it's a low tide?
Or courage hitched to our stride?
But I can see the distance
We've traveled on persistence
Descending after the climb
Sacrifice quelled end times
But I can see the sorrow
Mixed with joy on the morrow

Oh oh oh oh

Comin' up (ah ah ah ah) for air
Twas sparse in the unknown
Let the currents take us home
Take us home
Comin' up (ah ah ah ah) for air
From deep in the unknown
We're surfacing and coming home
Take us home

Have we won the day?
Have we conquered the night?
Have we exhausted all our luck
Before a swelling tide?
Have we not the strength?
Have we lost precious time?
Have we made it to the end
With these hearts we can't hide?

Oh oh oh oh

Comin' up (ah ah ah ah) for air
Twas sparse in the unknown
Let the currents take us home
Take us home
Comin' up (ah ah ah ah) for air
From deep in the unknown
We're surfacing and coming home
Take us home

(Take us home)
(Ooh, ooh)
