Aram Stefanian - As one

At sea you and me got caught in the acid rain.
The beach was teeming with frogs and water rats.
There was noplace to hide, but a lighthouse close by.
We climbed upstairs and watched the raging flood.
You were terribly afraid, clung to my arm and
Said you are too young to curl up and die.
I was speechless to find words to calm you down.
Then I prayed to God that we would be safe:
I hoped that He would forgive us our debts.
When the water rose higher, you held me tight,
Caressed me gently, kisssing my mouth, and said,
''We'll keep our heads above water as long as we're as one.''
