Being As An Ocean - St. Peter lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

It's 2 am, as we pull into the humble hotel

German countryside; everyone is shut up tight

Warmth and light welcome, as all file inside

I entered, belated, to see our troop elated

Faces filled up with joy, blessed communication

The source stood behind the counter

A man, salt & pepper, his face beamed like a boy's

(Chorus)

We are all given dark and light, beautiful contrast, black and white

U can hide in the darkness or strive for healthy progress.

Forgive what makes us humanm, we could grow an earthly heaven

(Verse 2)

He told us of our origins, spoke of when ideas gave birth to breath

He spoke about luv and respect

I felt fire rise up in my chest

Luvin' because He first luvs us

Clean or dirty, the Ocean remains as One!

I've neva felt such a warm embrace, well known stranger, his smile, a handshake

(And while he swept the floor)

Oh G'd, he called on me by name! Even as the smoke hung in our lungs

Like old friends we circled up

Peter, preachin' Life, past his Marlboro

(Interlude)

'On nights like tonight I come outside, enjoy the pins of light'

'Litterin'the sky, run my fingers down the lifeline of the hanging leaf'

(Chorus)

(Interlude)

'Thinkin' of how that life also resides in me'

'The mark of the Creator, we share the same energy'

'Our light and our dark, the dull side and the shiny'

'Creates the bein', whole, and distracts not from beauty'

For glory is revealed in everythin', shared energy

We must own and control the dark that we're given

Magnify the light, luvin' what is just and right

And cultivate for ourselves an earthly heaven
