Sea of Tranquility

Sea of Tranquility
Music & Lyrics Copyright 2011 by Larry Knox

I said son
is there a reason
for this life--
who are we supposed to be?

He said Father
why do you even bother
were only specs of carbon
in this vast and empty sea

oh take me back
oh take me back
before my life
was revealed to me

I said daughter
what's this slaughter
of the young and innocent
yearning to be free?

She said father
you needn't bother
what's the point of drowning
in a sea of tranquility

oh take me back
oh take me back
before my life
was revealed to me

I said Mother
where's my brother?
I miss him so much
I call him and he won't answer me

She said son, son,
His time is done
Don't be sad, the time he had
was filled with grace and humility

oh take me back
oh take me back
before my life
was revealed to me
