The Daily Boost #756

Believe in the cup of human kindness

RISE OUT OF THE WATER
Cosy Sheridan

Things got complicated and things got hard
When someone pitched a tent in our backyard
The good went bad, the bad went good
This did not end the way I thought it would

No one was wrong and no one was right
No one was sleeping too well at night
Up in the tower the queen is crying
Someone has to say the kingdom is dying

Chorus:
Rise out of the water
I will believe
In the cup of human kindness
There are reasons to leave

See what comes over the castle wall
We try and we fail
We rise and we fall
Sometimes we find the kingdom renewed
Can you hear, Guinevere, what I am telling you

Chorus

The Lady of the Lake held a sword in her hand

She rose out of the water and said if you do this right
You can go down in darkness or go down in light
It is not explained
It might be revealed
The kingdom falls
The kingdom is healed . . .
