[Verse 1: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
I spent my time back then thinking of nothing but them
The dead ends of my thoughts, the last friends in my head
And you heard me, you heard me, you heard me, my friend
Sent the ship over seas to save me from death
Through the storms I have weathered, through the dark and the rain
You sent me the ship that I sail on today
[Pre-Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
And the boat sails on like you sang in your song
And my mind feels clearer several years on, yeah
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
And the ship that was sailing on those storm ridden seas
Was my heart, and your words gave my heart back to me
[Verse 2: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
My mind was a turbine that fueled all the storms
And those words were the courage in which calmness took form
Through the storms I have weathered, through the dark and the rain
You sent me the ship that I sail on today
[Pre-Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
And the boat sails on like you sang in your song
And my mind feels clearer several years on, yeah
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
And the ship that was sailing on those storm ridden seas
Was my heart, and your words gave my heart back to me
[Bridge: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
I've found life, found the strength in myself to grow up
I've found my friends and the strength and the want to live on
And the ship that was sailing on storm ridden seas
Was my heart and those words gave my heart back to me
Through the storms I have weathered, through the dark and the rain
[Pre-Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
And the boat sails on like you sang in your song
And my mind feels clearer several years on
And the boat sails on like you sang in your song
And my mind feels clearer several years on
And the boat sails on like you sang in your song
And my mind feels clearer several years on, yeah
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
And the ship that was sailing on those storm ridden seas
Was my heart, and your words gave my heart back to me
