The Shore
Oh, guiding light, lead me back to shore, where I can stand
Applaud the dawn when it breaks and at last you can breathe a sigh of relief
But the darkness and the isolation last longer than you think
Even after you left you felt so near
And I waited for the sun, and for the fog to disappear
Instead my vessel sank, I swam in oceans of tears
And I guess I never knew grief felt so much like fear
Light shines in the dark
no matter how dim
So let him bury his face in the dust
Let him bury his face in the dust
There may yet be hope
Oh, guiding light, lead me back to shore, where I can stand
Oh, guiding light, make your presence known and take my hand
A loss of sight and the only sound is the roaring of the sea
Your hope is diminished, your thoughts are hazy and your limbs begin to seize
I'm floating in circles and feeling around for dry ground
Spinning out of control from the ups and the downs
You drift farther out when you're lost and unclear
And I guess I never knew grief felt so much like fear
So why are you so downcast
Oh, my soul
So let him bury his face in the dust
Let him bury his face in the dust
There may yet be hope
Oh, guiding light, lead me back to shore, where I can stand
Oh, guiding light, make your presence known and take my hand
Lead me to the shore
Lead me back to shore
Lead me to the shore
Lead me back to shore
Lead me to the shore
Applaud the dawn when it breaks and at last you can breathe a sigh of relief
But the darkness and the isolation last longer than you think
Even after you left you felt so near
And I waited for the sun, and for the fog to disappear
Instead my vessel sank, I swam in oceans of tears
And I guess I never knew grief felt so much like fear
Light shines in the dark
no matter how dim
So let him bury his face in the dust
Let him bury his face in the dust
There may yet be hope
Oh, guiding light, lead me back to shore, where I can stand
Oh, guiding light, make your presence known and take my hand
A loss of sight and the only sound is the roaring of the sea
Your hope is diminished, your thoughts are hazy and your limbs begin to seize
I'm floating in circles and feeling around for dry ground
Spinning out of control from the ups and the downs
You drift farther out when you're lost and unclear
And I guess I never knew grief felt so much like fear
So why are you so downcast
Oh, my soul
So let him bury his face in the dust
Let him bury his face in the dust
There may yet be hope
Oh, guiding light, lead me back to shore, where I can stand
Oh, guiding light, make your presence known and take my hand
Lead me to the shore
Lead me back to shore
Lead me to the shore
Lead me back to shore
Lead me to the shore
