Emily Sparks - I, Aquarius lyrics

My mother made me strong in naming me But names are only words And words fall silent and Faster than the telltale tear hits the ground And I've made words my life And they've made me asleep When my tear's fallen I can't speak How will I be saved? I was born bearing water So I built a house by the sea And weathered many storms But even the waves between That used to wash me clean Are stronger now and Starting to break me down And I've always given my shelter Made the lost sailor my friend When his ship sails and the storm comes to shore Who will build me back up again? My father says I'm like a rock But I feel more like a stone Broken, skipped and thrown And nothing more, than sand and ore Held together by the grace of time And I can carry my own weight And you can hold on for the ride But I can't promise I won't shed tears or Be swept away by the tide
