i bury what i want to say
deep under my breath
and i watch the clock just like
i’m marking time of death

but the rains are washing way
the layers of my lies
erosion to emotion
tears from cloudy skies

and i say ‘i’m sorry’ – you’ve heard it before
and i say ‘it’s over’ – you know there’ll be more
still you let me in from the storm

i apologize for what i’ve done
and what i soon will do
i can’t see what’s best for me
sometimes i hide from  you

the wind will bring me back
all creation tells me, “stay!”
the sky ignites in blue
warning me, “don’t run away”

and i say ‘i’m sorry’ – you’ve heard it before
and i say ‘it’s over’ – you know there’ll be more
still you let me in from the storm

this is the peace i wanted
this is the feeling i’ve found
heart poured from love
with a sky up above – a blue sky
