Side by Side

Side by Side - Sleeping At Last

A single voice

In an ocean of constant noise

Somehow our ears were trained

To recognize when we hear you call our name

Side by side

Every movement was memorized

Choreographed before

The schools of fish were born

Their patterns and plans align

All in a glorious effort to survive

There is no language for what we've seen

Only the sweetness that bends us to our knees

And all of these fumbling words

To explain what it means

But out hearts were buried deep in the sand

The sea unlocks

Like the lid of a music box

It shivers with foreign sound

As long as the gears stay wound

The whales will sing their song

All in a glorious effort to be strong

There's no need to be afraid

Overwhelming love cascades

The melody will rise and swell

As it finds it's way inside the shell

The mouth is a mirror

The mouth is a mirror

The mouth is a mirror

We must watch what we say

There is no language for what we've seen

Only the sweetness that bends us to our knees

And all of these fumbling words

To explain what it means

But our hearts were buried deep in the sand
