The Arrival

I am lost in this foreign land.
You're the first person I can understand.
Your honesty and how you negotiate with me.
Easing my confusion and pique my curiosity.
You take hold of the wheel.

You protect me from a bad situation.
You quench my thirst with a smile and I'm grateful.
A gentle touch, our eyes meet, I feel alive.
This isn't what I expected when I arrived.
Before I forget, let me thank you for all you've done.
I hope together we can find salvation.
I'm following you because I've lost my way.
Time to say goodbye to the fool of yesterday.
You take hold of the wheel.

Obstacles stand in our way.
I'm not going to run, I'm going to stay.
You and I, we will survive.
As long as I live I'm going to try.
I see the writing on the wall.
The words, the pictures, I see them all.
All of the tools are handed to me,
To fix what's broken in front of me.
You have faith in what I can do.
I need to learn patience, but I have faith too.
I'm not going to throw it all away.
Please, don't get discouraged by all that I say.

This is the arrival
our future is already here.
This is the arrival
everything is becoming clear.
This is the arrival
our future is already here.
This is the arrival
everything is becoming clear.

You take hold of the wheel.
You take hold of the wheel.
You take hold of the wheel.
