I'm lying on my back
Looking through the haze
I was thrown here by a careless hand
Left to drift below the waves

Am I as helpless as they said?
Can I rise up if I try?
When my will has sunk beneath the sand
And my inspiration's dry

Can I rise above this
Ocean of sorrow
Before I'm this and nothing else?
Can I rise above this
Ocean of hopelessness?
Or will I just fade until I'm gone?
Will I just fade until I'm gone?

I remember to a time
Before the water came
I lived in air and Earth and fire
And my sorrow had a name

The instruments of faith
Were at my fingertips
My spirit lived inside me then and
Grace spilled from my lips

A ray of light
Has broken through
To lead me home again
Home
