[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1 – Setting] Now the sea is still Now the moon lies fair Now the cliffs are pale Now the night is bare Then the breeze comes soft Then the foam takes flight Then the stars drift lost Then the coast turns white [Chorus] Oh God, are You near me? Oh God, can You hear me? Lalalala—through the spray, Lalalala—wash the grey Oh God, are You near me? Oh God, will you pull us clear? [Instrumental interlude] [Verse 2 – Sound & Memory] Hear the shingle hum Hear the tide retreat Hear the mariner come Hear the silence beat See the spray rise high See the swell then fall See the pale lee sky See the dark sea call [Chorus] Oh God, are You near me? Oh God, can You hear me? Lalalala—take the helm Lalalala—guide this realm Oh God, bring us peace Oh God, just let it cease [Instrumental interlude] [Bridge – Loss of Faith] Where is the shore? Where is the soul? Where is the sound That once made us whole? Gone like the clime That wrapped the world Gone like a rhyme From sails unfurled [Instrumental interlude] [Hook / Breakdown] Lalalala—don’t let go Lalalala—in the undertow Lalalala—winds may turn Lalalala—but hearts still burn [Instrumental hook] [Final Chorus – Hope + Plea] Oh God, are You near me? Oh God, will you calm our fear? Lalalala—stay the tide Lalalala—walk beside Oh God, show your self Oh God, are you for real? [Instrumental Outro]
