Find the Silver Lining When the World Goes Wrong

I felt the sand beneath me just start to dissipate Leaving me unsteady, wrestling with my fate One minute I was solid, standing on the shore The next I’m in the undertow, heading for the floor How does it happen? How do we lose control? When the tide pulls the anchor right out of your soul. They say it’s a blessing when the world goes wrong That the wreckage is the place where you find your song You gotta find the lesson in the overwhelming dark And look for the silver lining... the glow of a hidden spark When the night is daunting and the sea is deep There are promises in the storm that we have to keep. I had this master plan, a blueprint in my head But it was just an apparition, a fantasy instead A mission of shadows, a ghost in the light Now I’m floating in the cold in the middle of the night Nothing left to grab onto, no stone to hold tight Just the penetrating chill and the end of the light. You can’t f***t the thunder, you can’t push the tide There’s nowhere left to run and nowhere left to hide You have to accept it, you have to find a new space Or stay empty and trapped in this merciless place If we don’t learn to adapt to the unrelenting sea We’ll never find the version of who we’re meant to be. They say it’s a blessing when the world goes wrong That the wreckage is the place where you find your song You gotta find the lesson in the overwhelming dark And look for the silver lining... the glow of a hidden spark.
