[Verse I] The tide was grinding secrets into you You carried storms that never learned to fall But when the final breaker lost its pull You felt a calm that rose against it all [Chorus] Otsego—clear water calling you home The weight dissolves where the broken waves roll You cross the line where the turmoil loosens And breathe anew in the quiet of calm [Verse II] The past kept whispering for you to drown Its ruined vows still clawing at your bones But light broke through the iron of the dusk And showed a self untouched by former wounds [Bridge] You step beyond the reach of what you were The water lifts the weight you used to hold If this is rebirth, let it carve you slow And form a life unbroken, strong and whole [Final Chorus] Otsego—clear water calling you home The weight dissolves where the broken waves roll You cross the line where the turmoil loosens And breathe anew in the quiet of calm
