about

A song birthed at the time the cover photograph was taken. A song that continually challenges me, and asks deep questions about my life's meaning, and searches for the resolution in the chaos of life.

lyrics

Walking out along the shoreline,
waves are whispering in my ear
dreams are washed up on the tideline,
heavy swells have left them there
I look calm over the surface,
peace within is hard to find
'cause there's a current of confusion
flowing 'round a troubled mind

So take my soul down by the water
show me the arms of my Father
bathe my soul deep in these waters
waters to swim in

there's a change in my perspective
and I don't know which way to stare
I don't know if I believe it
I don't know if I should care
Where are you when I am searching?
yes, I know that you are there
Am I running to, or from you?
where are you when it's not fair when it's not fair

Know that I could never breathe without you
Know that I could never sing without you
Know that life cannot go on without you, without you, without you
Know that I could never breathe without you
Know that I could never sing without you
Know that life cannot go on without you, without you, yeah!

So take my soul down by the water
show me the arms of my Father
bathe my soul deep in these waters
waters to swim in

Take my soul down by the water
show me the arms of my Father
bathe my soul deep in these waters
waters to swim in

There's a violence to the breakers
as they punch into the shore
but there's a silence as I wonder
if my heart can take much more
Is there purpose where you lead me?
Or do I have to walk alone?
Is there order in this chaos?
Is there beauty in all this pain?

So take my soul down by the water
show me the arms of my Father
bathe my soul deep in these waters
waters to swim in

Know that I could never breathe without you
Know that I could never sing without you
Know that life cannot go on without you, without you, without you
Know that I could never breathe without you
Know that I could never sing without you
Know that life cannot go on without you, without you, yeah!

So take my soul down by the water
show me the arms of my Father
bathe my soul deep in these waters
waters to swim in

Take my soul down by the water
show me the arms of my Father
bathe my soul deep in these waters
waters to swim in
