Shore

I can’t breathe anymore
Can feel my body sinking to the ocean floor
I seem to have forgotten how to swim
The waves have quenched the fire that’s within

The tide has drowned me out
Still a distant voice is quieting the doubt
There’s still a chance that I may reach the land
I need to feel my feet upon your sand

Because you, you sought my heart, now I am yours
And though I cannot always feel you
I know you’re there, pulling me back, towards the shore
When I am near you, I know my ship there is secure
Just set my anchor down in truth
And I will rise above the waves

This is not a part of me
Just lies that I have chosen to believe
Well I’m not standing for it anymore
I’m fighting for the peace I had before

Because you, you sought my heart, now I am yours
And though I cannot always feel you
I know you’re there, pulling me back, towards the shore
When I am near you, I know my ship there is secure
Just set my anchor down in truth
And I will rise above the waves

Take my hand and don’t let go
I cannot do this on my own
Keep my head up, pull me through
I cannot do this without you
I know that I have let you down
But still you wouldn’t let me drown

Because you, you sought my heart, now I am yours
And though I cannot always feel you
I know you’re there, pulling me back, towards the shore
When I am near you, I know my ship there is secure
Just set my anchor down in truth
And I will rise above the waves
