Albatross
My heart was cast to greener grass
There in your garden walls
I laid my plans to trade my hand
In answer to your call
Was heading for your warmer shores
There on my sinking ship
I raised the mast to race my past
Your name upon my lips
There in the storms, illusions formed
Around my guiding stars
The sirens call, they tug and pull
On the strings of wounded hearts
I saw the trail of second chances
Lying wasted in my wake
I saw that every heart I'd ever held
I'd never failed to break
Forsaking grace for shame, I sailed away
And became a drifting wreck
With the saviour's cross, an albatross
To hang around my neck
I got lost in the tempest
Drowning in doubt
Tossed by the rapids
My last hope devoured
My will had surrendered
My soul a slave
To the raging waves
I stopped believing it could change
I stopped believing it could change
I stopped believing it could change
I stopped believing it could change
There in your garden walls
I laid my plans to trade my hand
In answer to your call
Was heading for your warmer shores
There on my sinking ship
I raised the mast to race my past
Your name upon my lips
There in the storms, illusions formed
Around my guiding stars
The sirens call, they tug and pull
On the strings of wounded hearts
I saw the trail of second chances
Lying wasted in my wake
I saw that every heart I'd ever held
I'd never failed to break
Forsaking grace for shame, I sailed away
And became a drifting wreck
With the saviour's cross, an albatross
To hang around my neck
I got lost in the tempest
Drowning in doubt
Tossed by the rapids
My last hope devoured
My will had surrendered
My soul a slave
To the raging waves
I stopped believing it could change
I stopped believing it could change
I stopped believing it could change
I stopped believing it could change
