VERSE 1:
I’m struggling to keep my head above water
Stranded at sea
No one or thing to protect me
Im reaching my hands out to clouded skies
Looking for your reasons why
CHORUS:
I had a burning soul
A burning fire
A heart that once only desired
To be one with you
In your kingdom come
I still remember the sound
Of a thousand voices
Lifting themselves
Asking for help
Looking to find a light in me
Was my salvation broken
Why wont my savior save me
VERSE 2:
There’s a hole in my chest where you once were
A reminder of what happened after I gave you my life
But I came out with a knife in my back
It all changed in a moment
Even if I had my atonement
I turned it off
Why oh why did you choose me
Turned your back towards me
CHORUS:
I had a burning soul
A burning fire
A heart that once only desired
To be one with you
In your kingdom come
The water is burning
The lungs it’s entering
But nothing is broken yet
Except the system your leading
But I’ll keep treading
Keeping my head above water
OUTRO:
I won’t drown in your darkness
I will rise above the waves
Rise like each new day
I will fight till my heart gives way
And i’ll keep trying to reach you
But I know that i don’t need you
To get me to the otherside
Whether or not I’m graced by your light
