You said you’d be my shoreline,
When the storm comes at night
And chase the waves from my eyes
That your strong hand would find mine,
And pull me into the daylight

But here i am shipwrecked out here,
Losing strength to the same fights,
I can't see the land through the midnight 
Breathing water at the same time 

You said you'd be my lifeline
When the wind hits my blindside
You said you'd be my captain, I trusted this 
You're always good on your promises 

So where do your words move and come to life? 
Making changes in these dirty eyes of mine?
Are you just sleeping at the wheel, In the meantime,
I'm falling.....


Night falls faster
I wasn't lost like this last year
What happened to my faith?
It's broken down, I don't have 
A map anymore, I lost that
When the ship went down

I read a story in a book a long time ago, something tells me 
That storms are not as powerful
As you, so if I pray to the sky with
Your name, will you hear my voice above the sound of the crashing waves? 

So here I am, oh God, I'm stranded, I don't know where the lifeboats landed, I know I'm just a sailor man, but I'm slipping from the edges, I could really use a savior and- 

All of a sudden the peace that I'm searching for lives in a hand 
He's reaching deeper than I understand
I can't seem to find my way back to land 
But I'm reaching, I'm reaching.
