Bend

Lock the door
Throw away the key
Don't lose faith
As we sink to our knees
This coming tide is strong
But we can bend
Like trees in the wind
Let it push us around

We all need
To feel weak to be strong
Humble ourselves
At the mercy of life
We've never had
Another choice
Joy needs pain
Pain needs joy
One without the other
Is empty, cold
We are not alone
Here together
Once bracing the other
Against the storm.
