Waves crash over me
My boat is lost at sea
Winds gust to and fro
And I with them go
Skies so dark close in
Can’t see where to begin
Hopelessly off course
No way to reverse
Yet there is a light
Piercing through the night
It will guide my boat
If I can stay afloat
I can turn the sail
So wind does not prevail
The compass still will show
Which way I should go
A broken hope of taken dreams
The loss of worlds we make in dreams
The truth I thought that I could trust
Turned out be mistaken dreams
The world is crumbling round my heart
I fall beneath my shaken dreams
I vow to never dream again
Bury the past’s forsaken dreams
My heart stands fast, will not let go
Its broken shards awaken dreams
An avalanche of endless walls
Everywhere I turn
So many climbs, so many falls
Will I ever learn
A false façade of fake success
Tempts me to keep on
All hollow – break through and regress
Just another con
How bleak life looks if there’s no hope
To escape these walls
Reduced each day to try to cope
With the pain of falls
But there is still a lifeline rope
Listen when He calls
Tell me, is there something out there
I can find if I keep on?
Tell me, is all that I worked for
Still inside or is it gone?
Tell me, where are all the people
That I thought were friends of mine?
Tell me, whether this direction
Levels out on down the line?
I can tell you, it’s not easy
To have faith when you can’t see
I can tell you all the times we
Acted on uncertainty
I can tell you, you may never
Know why things were like they were
I can tell you every detour
Made us press on even more
Faith is acting, not just hoping
Things will work out down the road
Live today with trust and courage
Worry just weighs down your load
Confusion is a smoky haze
That settles on a town for days
Disappointment is a fall
From a push off of a wall
Regret is a relentless flame
That burns within with deadly aim
Anticipation is a cloud
That either sun or rain does shroud
Exhaustion is a heavy weight
That slows you down til it’s too late
Failure is a zero score
On tests you never saw before
Criticism is a knife
You chip away on your own life
Disapproval is a blind
To block out others from your mind
Courage is the faithful trust
To step out, keep on when you must
Victory is the summit view
Of all the valleys you walked through
Give us hope in this dark hour
Give us unity and power
Give us wisdom day by day
Give us truth in what we say
Show us the right way to go
Show us answers we don’t know
Show us how to work as one
Show us peace where there is none
Lead us toward our earnest goals
Lead us each to fill our roles
Lead us in the way to talk
Lead our ships safely to dock
Save us from the storms outside
Save us from our pasts, our pride
Save us when we trip and fall
Save us when we hit the wall
