I drew a straight line
My barrel was fixed on the tree line
My back to the shore
The ocean roared
I drew a straight line
My barrel was fixed on the tree line
My back to the shore
The ocean roared
Then came the blindside
A fool suckered in by the low tide
Adrift in the waves, a castaway
Sling me that line again!
Shocked to be so naïve when I know every story ends this way
Pull me to shore again!
Thought I could swim but I've learned
It takes more than a clever pen to break
Break the waves
See how the heart goes wherever the volatile wind blows?
Its anchors aweigh with each new wave
Sling me that line again!
Shocked to be so naïve when I know every story ends this way
Pull me to shore again!
Thought I could swim but I've learned
It takes more than a clever pen to break
Break the waves
The line that I've drawn in the sand keeps shifting
Catastrophe caved in my castle walls
God, grant me the gift of a deeper wisdom
And courage to rise every time I fall
