Description
Yes I'm driftingYes I'm drifting
All alone in the night
All alone in the night
Yes I'm drifting
Yes I'm drifting
Solid ground is out of sight
Solid ground is out of sight
I'm Drifting, I'm Drifting Out in the night, no one around
I'm Drifting, I'm DriftingNowhere can I hear a sound
Looking around, for someone to be thereBut they are all out there, with their own cares
No time they can give, No time they can spareTo one who is Drifting, and falling down the stairs
Yes I'm drifting
Yes I'm drifting
All alone in the night
All alone in the night
Yes I'm driftingYes I'm driftingWith no solid ground in sightWith no solid ground in sight
There is a light, far off in the night
It gives me hope, it gives me hope
I keep on drifting, all through the nightThe light never fades, but nothing seems to change
Water all around, I see Jesus holding his hand down
Ready to pull me up, to walk on the water
But I'm scared, and I feel the water all around
And then I lose sight of him again, I lose sight of him again
The tides come rushing in, People show up again
I get distracted with them, I get distracted with them
Then the tides go on by, the people then fade into the night
And I'm left alone again, alone in the night
Yes I'm drifting
Yes I'm drifting
All alone in the night
All alone in the night
Yes I'm drifting
Yes I'm drifting
With no solid ground in sight
With no solid ground in sight
God waits patiently for me, behind the scenes
Waiting for me to take his hand, so he can lift me out of the seas
While he waits, all I see is the sea, calling out to me
It looks wide, it looks vast, it looks too big for me to grasp
The sea calls out to me, What could it want from me?
It desires to engulf me in its despair, to bring me down like a sunken ship
I can't give up, I can't let it win, I stay afloat, seeing that light ahead
Though after all this time, with no solid ground, I wish to stop, and just lay down
To let it engulf me, in its deep unending tide
To let it bury me, in its unending waves of death
To stop having to put effort to, all the things that seems to get me no where still
To stop being, from now until
But God still holds me up, of that I can feel
I can't go under, but I can't take hold
Of all that is in life, or of the life death would like to steal
my heart wants to feel empty, it wants to feel cold
Yes I'm drifting
Yes I'm drifting
Alone in the night
Alone in the night
Yes I'm drifting
Yes I'm drifting
With no solid ground in sight
With no solid ground in sight
I want to stop, and let myself sink
God has other plans, and holds me up
I feel trapped, above and beneath
Stuck here, between life and death
I want it to stop
To let my heart stop beating
But it wont, like a clock still ticking
A prisoner I am, to this life I can't stop living
Yes I'm drifting
Yes I'm drifting
All alone in the night
All alone in the night
Yes I'm drifting
Yes I'm drifting
With no solid ground in sight
With no solid ground in sight
I know God is there
I just don't see him all the time
I know I have friends
But they all are busy with their lives
I can't move on
and I can't just drop
But just like a broken clock
I just want this life to stop
