I Was Made Upon Waters - Orne

I was born in Good Friday, made upon waters

Tested in fire, chased by my Demon

Ideals so bright when you are young

So easily destroyed when you’re undermined

The fire’s still burning inside my heart

Some lessons in living once tore it apart

But now I’m healed, the scar tissue holds

Little knots and stitches have made it strong

Return to the sea, as my life unfolds

I can follow my will, now, and nothing is wrong

Will I be happy at the time of my dying?

Will it be easy or will I be crying?

I am standing in between death and the living

Respecting traditions, giving them meaning
