about

This beautiful song of catharsis, forgiveness, and healing arcs toward recovery and hope. We’ve paired it with Ryan’s poignant, windswept tune for a battle that forever altered the course of Scottish history and culture.

lyrics

LYRICS:

It matters nothing what they did to you.
The storm is over, the wreckage, through.
Leave them in your wake; no more for you to take.
Be like the sea.

If it hurts your heart, cast it up on the shore.
Let it go forever. Ceart go leor.
Wash away the sorrow, the tears of no tomorrow.
Be like the sea.

(Chorus)
The sea, the sea; dive with me.
We’ll lose these rags we’re wearing and be
like the sea, the sea: wild and free.
We’ll swim out past the longing, so deep.
Away out past the longing, so deep.

Down below these waves, in the deepest depth,
there are echoes sounding, true as your breath.
The still, small voice in you; the endless, open blue.
Be like the sea.

Go on forever; shine out in the sun!
The full a tá sé everyone.
Dance yourself around; give up the small ground.
Be like the sea.

(Chorus)
