Shipwrecked

Drifting in a crashing storm
My soul falling to the ocean floor
Clouds smother a helpless sky
Don't know where I’m heading or what I've left behind

Can't tell if it’s morning or if there's a moon in the sky
Can't tell if its tomorrow or if I'm lost in time
Showing no mercy the tide strikes me more
Knocking all I've ever known ashore

Leaving me barren, flesh and bones
My will to fight escapes from every pore
Logic has abandoned my weary mind
I'm shackled to the pain
Can't move my life

In an instant I hear a voice
I feel a hand guiding mine
All the weight of my body
Floats away like a feather in flight
In an instant the rays of the sun
Burn holes through the darkened sky
All that exists for me
Is the warmth of that light

Hovering around me I see those I've adored
Who lived in such pain and now suffer no more
Rescuing me on their wings I collapse
I’m out of harm’s way and I never look back

I know I'm not dreaming I’ve never felt so awake
I know I'm not crazy life has never made so much sense
I know there is more waiting for me
I know I've got so much more to give

I fill my lungs with the air that they need
I feel the salt piercing my skin
Everything I am turns to black and white
I surrender to this truth and I simply fight

In an instant I hear a voice
I feel a hand guiding mine
All the weight of my body

Floats away like a feather in flight
In an instant the rays of the sun
Burn holes through the darkened sky
All that exists for me
Is the warmth of that light

In the horizon I see a glimpse of a beach
The palms are like dots yet I know I will reach
I'm barely skimming the crest of the waves
The thrust of my faith leaves my past in the wake
I channel my thoughts towards this promised land
Nothing in this world will block the path of my plan
The frequency’s high I cannot hear despair
I believe, I rejoice, nothing else can compare

In an instant I hear a voice
I feel a hand guiding mine
All the weight of my body
Floats away like a feather in flight
In an instant the rays of the sun
Burn holes through the darkened sky
All that exists for me
Is the warmth of that light
