Shipwreck

I pushed off with sails high and my best filled to the top.
On my head was my confidence with no destination in sight.

I went out for a sail knowing part of me would never make it home.
A hundred thousand dead on the floor, convinced, thirty years is all I got.

Pushed through waters and downed the rain not many men would dare to go.
Men with drowned hearts and broken hands soon took over the wheel.
Then one morning I woke up to yelling.
Got dressed up to see this man headed straight for us.

He was was on the walking on the water.

I went out for a sail knowing part of me would never make it home.
A hundred thousand dead on the floor, convinced, thirty years is all I got.

Then the man who was walking on water made it to the boat, he set the sail, then raised the anchor, then he said to me…

Shipwreck, you will not go down to the bottom of this sea.
Shipwreck, you will not lay at the bottom of this sea.
You will will reach land this very day and I will give you shelter.

Shelter you

I went out for a sail thinking part of me would never make it home
How was I to know that hope would be the thing to tow me home?
