about

The survivors of the 3eleven tsunami I met while in Miyako, Japan, told of the destruction of their lives. Regardless of the walls we build, there is no safety but higher grounds.

lyrics

 Your lives were stripped to its foundations
 You hold your children in barren fields 
Turn to the sun to kill the dampness 
Don't dry your soil in return

 The walls you've built around your gardens
 They've kept your gardener outside 
The weeds will suffocate your flowers 
And leave debris on your shore

 Ooooh
 Where will you make your homes?
 Ooooh
 Turn your hearts to higher grounds

There is a place on higher grounds
 There is a God who keeps you dry 
With every breath He holds you higher 
And every breathe is a dying one

 Love is a city on a hill 
She is a lighthouse on your rocks
 Love is the temple on your mountains
 Love is where you find your home
