Charlie's gone down surrounded by black ocean
He's clutching for air between waves of cold thunder
How could it all have gone so wrong?
You got taken by the wind somehow
Oh Charlie, what you gonna do now?
Seconds ago you were standing high above the water
Your cool heart filling up with butterflies
Ready to fall into a bliss
You could never find in a place like this
Too much pain to resist
And in a moment you were gone
You closed your eyes and floated on
And prayed that you would be newly born
So tell me are you free at last?
Have you let go of the past?
Charlie's tumbling into the dark
But a powerful wind swept you away
As you were carried out to sea beyond the jagged rock bed
Rising to the surface with burning bones
A breath to cling on or sink like stone
Tell me which way will you turn?
And you were sure that you were gone
You closed your eyes and floated on
And prayed that you would be newly born
So tell me are you free at last?
Have you let go of the past?
