Castaway

Destitution, all the others have gone

Left you there all alone

Don't be afraid, this world is not your home

Disillusioned, just a pilgrim passing through

Disdained in everything you do

But there's a single light that's shining through the dark because of you

A sense of honor with no care for reward

But they set their sails and left you there on the shore

To look on 'til they're gone

Disappeared past the horizon

One by one they sailed away, for a brighter day

Now you're just another castaway

So fly the flag 'til your ship comes in

Keep the faith, my friend, and one day we'll be together once again

Isolation, always counting the cost

Always bearing your cross

But in the end your gain will far outweigh

The things you've lost

So when the world has passed you by, and every promise was a lie

And all the friends you had

Have turned their backs on you

Don't wonder why

You're shunned and cast out just for taking a stand

Left on an island all alone in the sand

Off they go, but you know your ship is coming in tomorrow

One by one they sailed away

Start a fire and stay alive, you're so far from home

Everyone is gone, but I won't leave you alone, I promise

This is the covenant I've made 'til the end, my friend

A blood promise, and some things last forever

One by one they sailed away

Marvel not if the world hates you, 'cause it hates Me, too

For the heart of man is nothing new

So eye the prize for the race you've run

Well done, my son, enter into all that I've prepared for you
