fire and fight

standing at the edge of the sea
the water is lapping at my feet
the foam is grasping at the sand
and there is hope held in my hand

the colors are changing in the skies
and the tears are rising in my eyes
and the friend that saw me through each day
is the one that I ask to pray

it is the ache, long and lonely 
through the darkest of nights
that appears in burst of light
and banks like birds in flight

oh this feels like my right
this is the reward in sight
it's been holding my heart
in it's palm since the start
and its calling my name with fire and fight

and I'm smiling because I know
it's all going to be alright
tomorrow may be what it will be
but this girl is going to be alright
