Deepest You

(album: Restless Minds - 2019)

Desperate to say that it is when it isn't
Lost in the ocean of your optimism
The sea of denial
You are an island
You know if I could, I would swim out that far
Carry you home to who you really are
Relight your fire, but I can't

Mining for diamonds, you dig in the dirt
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Down in the darkness, it's gonna hurt
Ooh
It's what every searching soul in the great unknown must be brave and do
You will find your deepest you

I see your pain and I travel in time
Back to the wildness you had as a child
Dancing and laughter
Free
The whole world back then as it lay at your feet
Now it's on your back and you struggle to keep
Everything hidden
But I see

Mining for diamonds, you dig in the dirt
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Down in the darkness, it's gonna hurt
Ooh
It's what every searching soul in the great unknown must be brave and do
You will find your deepest you

I'm desperate to say I can make it alright
Knock down the walls your heart's hiding behind
I could never, but you can
