The Ocean in Me
From Teardrop to Ocean: Embracing Life's Transformations
Lyrics
I know when a storm is coming on
I have an intuitive sense of when a difficult situation is approaching.
And I can tell when tears are gonna fall
I can anticipate when someone is about to cry.
And I know what it's like when disappointments
I understand the feeling of disappointments that can make one feel insignificant.
Seem to make you feel so small
Disappointments sometimes lead to a sense of smallness.
I've become the extra when I wished to be the lead
I've played a supporting role when I wished to be in the lead.
And I have been the friend when I wished to be the girl
I've been a friend when I desired to be the central figure.
And sometimes all the faith in the world
Even with immense faith, certain things may not change as they are not meant to be altered.
Can still never change
Faith has its limits in changing what is not meant to be.
What isn't meant to be
Acceptance of things that are not meant to happen.
But if I feel like just a tear drop in the rain when I meant
Feeling insignificant and small, like a tear drop, when the intention was to be significant like a river.
to be a river
Desiring to be influential and impactful like a river.
God sees the ocean in me
Despite feeling small, God recognizes the vastness and depth within the individual.
And in the depths of all my sorrow and my pain
In times of sorrow and pain, seeking deliverance.
When I ask to be delivered
When seeking deliverance, realizing the vastness within oneself.
He shows the ocean to me
God reveals the vastness and depth within the individual.
He sees the ocean in me
A recognition that God sees the vastness within the person.
He sees all the things that I can't see
God perceives things that are hidden from the individual.
And He dries every tear that falls down
God provides comfort by drying every tear.
And sooner or later He opens my eyes and finally I turn around
Eventually, God opens the individual's eyes to see the truth.
To find that as a servant, I had really been a queen
Realizing one's true worth, transitioning from a servant to a queen.
And I had been a diamond when I thought that I was glass
Discovering inner strength and value when previously thought to be fragile.
And I know every heartbreak will pass
Understanding that heartbreaks are temporary and will pass.
Just when it seems the hardest to believe
Believing in the passing of heartbreaks even when it's challenging to do so.
Cause if I feel like just a teardrop in the rain when
Feeling small, like a teardrop, instead of being significant like a river.
I meant to be a river
Desiring to have a more impactful and significant presence.
God sees the ocean in me
God recognizes the vastness and depth within the individual despite feeling small.
And in the depths of all my sorrow and my pain
Seeking deliverance in times of sorrow and pain.
When I ask to be delivered
Discovering the vastness within oneself during the process of seeking deliverance.
He shows the ocean to me
God reveals the immense depth within the individual.
He sees the ocean in me
Affirmation that God recognizes the vastness and depth within the person.
I'm an ocean drawn to the light
Identifying with being drawn to the light like an ocean.
Reaching for the sky
Striving to reach heights like an ocean reaching for the sky.
Pulled by gravity
Feeling the pull of life's challenges and gravity.
And after every storm I take another shape
Adapting and transforming after facing difficulties, taking new shapes.
Landing on a shore far beyond my dreams
Reaching shores beyond one's initial dreams after overcoming challenges.
And when I feel like just a teardrop in the rain when
Experiencing a sense of smallness, like a teardrop, instead of the intended significance like a river.
I meant to be a river
Desiring to have a more impactful and significant presence.
God sees the ocean in me
God acknowledges the vastness and depth within the individual despite feeling small.
And in the depths of all my sorrow and my pain
Seeking deliverance in times of sorrow and pain.
When I ask to be delivered
Discovering the vastness within oneself during the process of seeking deliverance.
He shows the ocean to me
God reveals the immense depth within the individual.
He sees the ocean in me
Affirmation that God recognizes the vastness and depth within the person.
