Is there nothing I can do to save you now? Feel helpless as I was in that first breath Is there nothing I can do, no power in my voice Feel helpless as two newborn lungs Mother I'm sorry, I'm a part of your blue And when you gave your love Was there a hollow space in you? Mother I'm sorry, I'm a part of your wreckage And when you gave your love Could I learn to protect it? When you gave your love I never learnt to protect it Can you be reborn when you're falling apart? Twist this hurting into gold, I'll be there at the start I know my song won't soothe your ways Won't be baptised, cleansed of heavy, lonesome days Mother I'm sorry, I'm a part of your blue And when you gave your love Was there a hollow space in you? Mother I'm sorry I'm a part of your wreckage And when you gave your love Could I learn to protect it? When you gave your love I never learnt to protect it Will we swim? Will there be singing When the waters come When the waters come Will we swim? Will there be singing When the waters come When the waters come When the waters come When the waters come When the waters come When the waters come
