Stones And Sea – Eden’s Bridge – letras

In the beginning,I was counting the stones on the seashore,Looking for the precious ones.Among the stones, I found many pretty thingsWhile the sea rolled on beside me all the time.Time moved on.I had collected many stones ’til I tired of them,And I think they tired of me.Some were lovely, but I was never satisfied,And the sea rolled on beside me all the time.And the wind rose, east and cold.Whisp’ring sweetly to my soul.And it said « Look you fool,You are missing precious things:Raise your eyes and look towards the sea. »So I looked:It was as if I saw the sea for the first time,And it’s power captured me.All the time I had wasted seeking stones,I had missed the rolling glory of the sea.And the seaDevoured a mighty swathe of heart, overwhelmed meIn a way I couldn’t know,And the price for the love of greater thingsWas surrender to the great and cruel sea.And it stole me, and I feared the aching sea,It consumed me, drowned my mind.The wind said « Look, you fool,No matter what you do,You can’t contain the ocean like a stone. »
