lyrics

Then comes reaching a hand through the dark.
Eyes of fire like the light from the sun.
A face of shapeless form to the core.
A voice so gentle it would calm a storm.

A whispered word faintly speaks to my ear.

Set fire, set fire to the light in your heart.
Another word when she signaled come near.
Listen closely child,


-Sink or swim
Against the currents
Constantly pulling you back

-Sink or swim
Against the waves and the winds
Fight for your life or drown in the ocean

-Sink or swim
So keep your head above the water, kid
The storm won't be passing tonight.

-Sink or swim
Confused and constricted, abused and unlisted.
I know where I went wrong.

I'm just lost and alone in the dark.

These are the days that we’re wasting away.

As I walk through the valley,
the shadows are chasing me down.
As I look to the sky,
The clouds are dark all around.
As I swim through the ocean,
The waves rise up against me.
As I try my hardest to fight back,
A whisper takes hold of my ear.

Listen closely she said,
You’re not alone, you’re with me.
No matter where you are, you won't be Lost at Sea.
Let go of your harness, Stand Tall now and be free with me.
It’s in the Darkest of Times, The Dead of the Night,
Deliverance comes in a fearful disguise.

Listen closely she said,
You’re not alone, you’re with me.

-Sink or swim
Against the currents
Constantly pulling you back

-Sink or swim
Against the waves and the winds
Fight for your life or drown in the ocean

-Sink or swim
So keep your head above the water, kid
The storm won't be passing tonight.

-Sink or swim
Confused and constricted, abused and unlisted.
I know where I went wrong.
