lyrics

Too soon, too soon
He swam full speed across the sea of doom
His worry paid no heed to sick and storming seas
Above, below, in waves he’d flow
And refuse to be unfree

The breaking man found strength to lift his head
Until he took his final dive descending to the dead
And though he’s gone I will make sure
The life he lived remains
And shine the light he made for his dark caves
By living for today.

I’ve heard it said “there is no more reward”
For walking dust is ever drawn back to its source
And shades in shadowed sleep are perished memories
A common destiny we must defeat before we sleep

The breaking man found strength to lift his head
Until he took his final dive descending to the dead
And though he’s gone I will make sure
The life he lived remains
And shine the light he made for his dark caves
By living for today.

From in the darkest depths the surface seems so bleak
Yet underneath the diving deep
In darkness light still speaks

You’re not gone away from my memory
In my life I’ll choose to dive in deep.

Your spirit breaks, your body bows its head
And we entrust your fate unto the Firstborn of the Dead
And hope that in His mercy we might yet see you again
In a better body than the one
That showed us you were brave

You’re not gone away from my memory
In my life I’ll choose to dive in deep.
