Lyrics
I think I'm drowning in the sea of life
Waves of indecision
Saltwater blinds my vision as it stings my eyes
Now I realize that love is just a ship on uncertain tides
(chorus)
Someone tell the captain this ship is sinking
I'm in distress for a rescue truing to stay afloat
If I'm still and sure and I'm prepared for what's in store
I can steer this sinking ship to shore
I think I'm driven by the storms of passion
Navigating the waters of temptation
Although I see a black cloud waiting up ahead
I'm driven by the dread knowing in my hear
That I should turn around instead
(repeat chorus)
I'm tethered by the anchor of a prayer for simple survival
'til I accomplish my arrival at my mission's end
Where another wish will send me
Out to brave uncertain seas and storms again
(repeat chorus)
