st. peter - being as an ocean lyrics

Loading...

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 and pepper, his face beamed like a boy’s

[chorus]
we are all given dark and light
a beautiful contrast of black and white
you can hide in the darkness
or strive for healthy progress
forgive what makes us human
we could grow an earthly heaven

he told us of our origins, spoke of when ideas gave birth to breath
he spoke about love and respect
i felt fire rise up in my chest
loving because he first loved us
clean or dirty, the ocean remains as one!
i’ve never felt such a warm embrace, well-known stranger, his smile, a handshake
and while he swept the floor
oh god, he called on me by name!

even as the smoke hung in our lungs, like old friends we circled up
peter, preaching life, p-ssed his marlboro
on nights like tonight i come outside
enjoy the pins of light, littering the sky
run my fingers down the lifeline of the hanging leaf

[chorus]
we are all given dark and light
a beautiful contrast of black and white
you can hide in the darkness
or strive for healthy progress
forgive what makes us human
we could grow an earthly heaven

we are all given dark and light
a beautiful contrast of black and white
you can hide in the darkness
or strive for healthy progress
forgive what makes us human
we could grow an earthly heaven

thinking 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 being whole, and distracts not from beauty
for glory is revealed in everything, shared energy
we must own and control the dark that we’re given
magnify the light, loving what is just and right
and cultivate for ourselves an earthly heaven
