Found the Surface

The waves fell quiet as I broke through the blue

The sunlight touched me like something new

I left my shadow where the deep begins

Now the sky feels soft against my skin

I found the surface, I'm not under anymore

I'm breathing easy, I'm not at war

The weight is gone, the world feels wide

There's beauty shining on every tide

I found the surface, and I'm alive once more

There's an island here where the wild winds play

Every color brighter than the ocean's gray

The palms keep time with a gentle song

And the peace I lost has been here all along

I found the surface, I'm not under anymore

I'm breathing easy, I'm not at war

The weight is gone, the world feels wide

There's beauty shining on every tide

I found the surface, and I'm alive once more

I still hear the echoes from below

But they fade in the warmth of the afterglow

I carry the deep inside my heart

But up here's where the healing starts

I found the surface, and I can finally see

The sky was always calling me

I'm standing on an island, free and strong

I was under once, but not for long

I found the surface, where I belong

Yeah, I found the surface

The light was always there

And this beautiful island

Is made of breath and air
