I'm a boat on the sea
Countless waves, they carry me
I carve my path by the breeze
All alone but oh so free
Stars by night, faith by day
Light my path and guide my way
No straight lines in a drifter's prayer
I'll get lost but I'll get there
In the grip of changing winds
At the hands of open waters
The shadow of the moon
And the rising tide it conjures
Heaven hear my prayer
Lest the will of God desert me
You didn't bring me all this way
For barren shoals to show me no mercy
No mercy
Steady goes the wheel of time
I've pitched and rolled my whole life
Swallows perched on the bough
Hope on that horizon; I'll soon be anchored down
In the grip of changing winds
At the hands of open waters
The shadow of the moon
And the rising tide it conjures
Heaven hear my prayer
Lest the will of God desert me
You didn't bring me all this way
For barren shoals to show me no mercy
No mercy
I'll hold fast when storms they come
Against my will, thine be done
In the grip of changing winds
At the hands of open waters
The shadow of the moon
And the rising tide it conjures
Heaven hear my prayer
Lest the will of God desert me
You didn't bring me all this way
For barren shoals to show me no mercy
No mercy
