Before the Storm (part 1)

As if I had a choice
To change the course
You think I'd choose to go the way of the storm
And every vessel here
In this randomness
Just seems to verify our unity of form
And I can't remember before the storm
Or the ocean

Won't you sit a while
And let me look at you
I can still see the sun in your eyes
And I can see you there
Like it's yesterday
Though it's years since we said our goodbyes
And I can't remember before the storm
Or the ocean

Give us back our innocence
We need a light to guide us home
Any sign or evidence
Expelled from Eden we must roam
And I can't remember before the storm
Is this the storm I can't remember?
Is this the storm I can't remember?

Help us draw from out the well
We've wandered far across the sand
Something for this empty shell
To lead us to the promised land
And I can't remember before the storm
