Here I am
Drowning in a sea of my own choices
Holdin to a hope by a thread
Yeah
I'm lookin round
I'm callin out, fear pulls me down
When the waters rush over my head
You are my lifeline
You are my rescue
Strength in my weakness
Light in my darkness
You are my safety
Lifter of my head
The air that I need when
I can't seem to breathe in
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
How many times
How many turns will it take till I learn
You reach for me in my need
And when I cry I will faithfully find you
When life comes crashin on me
You are my lifeline
You are my rescue
Strength in my weakness
Light in my darkness
You are my safety
Lifter of my head
The air that I need when
I can't seem to breathe in
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
Your there in my brokenness
And my distress
My rock when I'm stronger when I'm powerless
You hold me and rush when tides and waters rise
And I always find
You are my lifeline
You are my rescue
Strength in my weakness
Light in my darkness
You are my safety
Lifter of my head
The air that I need when
I can't seem to breathe in
You are my lifeline
You are my rescue
Strength in my weakness
Light in my darkness
You are my safety
Lifter of my head
The air that I need when
I can't seem to breathe in
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline!
