Can You Hear Me Calling

Blue sky and salty water

And the sun is warming my skin

Oh how I wish my daughter

We’d find a place where we could start again

Close, too close we are watching the storm come

up on the horizon that we cannot escape from

We are prisoners of the sea

Black just black endless feet below me

Waiting for the waves they are trying to throw me

overboard and into relief

And I take my breath to call her

while we’re ship-wrecked out on the sea

We are so far away from glory

Can you hear me

Can you hear me calling

We’re tormented by hunger

We lead off the fight that no one can win

We’re all alone together

No one can tell where our journey will end

As long as we are still breathing

We won’t run out of believe
