If I could still the storms for thee
I would do so, lovingly
Whisper peak and trough to soothe
Calm the crest and ripples smooth
No wave nor tide would e’er there be
If I could still the storms for thee
But oh what lessons you will have lost
If I esteem too high the cost
In the billows of wind and rain
You’ll learn of sorrow, joy, and pain
Should I remove tumult from sea
If I could still the storms for thee?
I would do so, lovingly
Whisper peak and trough to soothe
Calm the crest and ripples smooth
No wave nor tide would e’er there be
If I could still the storms for thee
But oh what lessons you will have lost
If I esteem too high the cost
In the billows of wind and rain
You’ll learn of sorrow, joy, and pain
Should I remove tumult from sea
If I could still the storms for thee?
No, if I could still the storms for thee
I would not do so, lovingly.
