This song is loosely based on the Disney movie, Lilo & Stitch. Most of it is written from David's perspective as he is sort of the independent observer throughout the movie.
lyrics
Curse this wave that’s crashing over me
Can’t seem to keep this footing
What I seek can not be earned
It must be given freely and received
What does it mean to belong?
To feel something right in a world of wrong
This family’s broken and small
But it’s still good, made of something strong
Hold tight to what’s born out of adversity
Changing hearts and minds is not of us
Breathe deep, set a course for longevity
A firm foundation, one that you can trust
I thought they had a chance, but then you came around
Confusion, commotion in pursuit of transformation
Just want to see a smile on your face
Help you conquer every crashing wave
Confusion
Commotion
A chance of redemption
The truth is, you may feel like you don’t belong
Cast down from sights unseen
Redemption is only steps away
Pick yourself back up and seize this day
When you’re waiting, you’re feeling lost
Seeking solace from where you’ve been
Call out with heavy voice
Your family’s there with you till the end!
Unreciprocated, yet unabated
I’m inundated by emotional leanings
Or what I thought was your indifference
Was actually a quality I couldn’t see
Hold tight to what’s born out of adversity
Changing hearts and minds is not of us
Breathe deep, set a course for longevity
A firm foundation, one that you can trust
What does it mean to belong?
To feel something right in a world of wrong
This family’s broken and small
But it’s still good, made of something strong
Bless this wave that’s crashing over me
I am found, oh I’m found
No longer lost
My family’s everything!
No longer lost
My family’s everything!
Just want to see a smile on your face
Help you conquer every crashing wave
My family’s everything!
