"Be My Anchor"

Fighting the tides again
Let them wash over
Limp on the shore again
My body pitched over

Call it what you will
The storms that I'm facin'
Catching the air and still
I've got no foundation

[chorus]
Be my anchor
Cause I know I don't want to drown
In this world of wind and waves
That try to toss me all around
Be my anchor
Cause I know that I get torn
Like the sails tied to a ship
When I go crashing through the storm

I'm all choked up again
Coughing up dirt and sand
Down that old road again
A path I never planned

Cleaving to my own breath
That's caught in my throat
Believing that my washed up life
May be my only hope

[chorus]
Be my anchor
'Cause I know I don't want to drown
In this world of wind and waves
That try to toss me all around
Be my anchor
'Cause I know that I get torn
Like the sails tied to a ship
When I go crashing through the storm

Watch me go down
The captain of my own life now
The hope I found
Seems so far away from me now
Send out a beam of light
Or clear direction, just as bright
I don't want to
No, I don't want to drown

Be my anchor
Be my anchor
Be my anchor
