Lyrics
Diary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Day one
Drifting out at sea
No sign of land, no sign of hope for me
Rocking to and fro by the winds of complacency
I am just so tired of fighting to breathe
Day two
Or day six, day twenty, day fifthy
They're all the same, nothing changes for me
When will I ever be rescued?
When will I ever be free?
Oh God, someone hear me, someone please
But wait, oh, but wait
There is a man walking above all of this that surrounds me
He takes my hand, takes my heart
Rips me free
Rips me free
Rips me free
Rips me free
How can I ever repay you Mister
For setting my desperate soul on dry land
For signaling those storms away with a whisper
For taking all of my burdens in your hands
in your hands
in your hands
Today
Things are most certainly changed
All of my pain for all of God's hope exchanged
When will I ever be rescued
That was my desperate plea
And God you heard me
Set me free
How can I ever repay you Mister
For setting my desperate soul on dry land
For signaling those storms away with a whisper
For taking all of my burdens in your hands
in your hands
