Mother - Sleeping At Last

Love, bigger than the ocean

Is what you’ve given to me

You hunted down every danger

So my brother and I could swim free

In a love bigger than the ocean

The shores, they were mighty scary

But at my back, I had the mighty sea

There’s something so strange about human nature

We get so used to the gifts that we receive

Now, I’m more than grateful

For a love bigger than the ocean

I dreamt you were down by the water

You looked so proud and happy to see me

You were laying down some kind of red carpet on the beach

I said, «Mom, I’m not sure what this means.»

It was an invitation

To a love bigger than the ocean

Now, we have children of our own

We’ll dive back into the waters we have known

As you loved us, we will love them to the brim

Because of you, they were born ready to swim

In a love bigger than

A love deeper than the ocean

I still have so much I wanna tell you

I still have so much to figure out

There’s so much of you in the reflection of my life

And I hope you know I couldn’t be more proud

Of a life swimming in a love deeper than the ocean
