The constant sway
The to and fro
That leaves me feeling weak
This repeating test
The need to grow
That puts me on my knees
The load is too heavy
The seas are too treacherous
The wind's always blowing me
In the wrong direction
This wasn't in the ship's manifest
I never expected life to be this hard
It's not the destination who shapes who I am
But the voyage that I took to get there
These sails may be torn
But Lord they are still flying
I may have had the thoughts
But I never gave up trying
I never gave up trying
The load is too heavy
The seas are too treacherous
The wind's always blowing me
In the wrong direction
You never abandoned me
I only gave up on myself
You never abandoned me
I only gave up on you and me
You keep my head above the waves
