lyrics

Look at me
Try to breathe
The waves are crashing
But they’ll calm and you’ll see
You and me
Meant to be
Nothing in this life
Will stop what should be

Our paths crossing softly
Changed the heavens
We cannot demand
They return

I see the storm
I know we’ve been warned
To tread the straight road
That’s rocky and thorned

I guess that way
Is a choice we could make
Where a heart can beat
A birthright can’t say
Birthright can’t say
I know you’re afraid, but be still now
The way to the life is jumping in
Don’t look down

You and me
We’re meant for the sea
And the starry nights
That guide us
steadfast and free
The wind in our sails
Be they gentle or gales
They’ll carry us together
Anywhere

They can’t see
What’s meant to be
But we don’t need to see
It always was and will be

We pay no mind
To reason or time
Fate will deal a hand
Loving and kind
Our paths crossing softly
Changed the heavens
We cannot demand
They return

You and me
We’re meant for the sea
And the starry nights
That guide us
steadfast and free
The wind in our sails
Be they gentle or gales
They’ll carry us together
Anywhere
