I Saw The Ocean

At the end of my rope
Without an ounce of hope
I can see my life pass before my eyes
And teeter at the tipping point

A corps of engineers
Would fail to dam my tears
Because you can’t restrain a recessive gene
Or rain delay advancing years

Lake Tawakoni
Is always there for me
Lake Tawakoni

A telephoto lense
Over my darkest sins
Could help disguise unforgiving eyes
And send me down the road again

Chicken noodle soup
And muddy cowboy boots
Are simple things that remind me
I’m always anchored to my roots

Chorus
Solo

If I fall off track
You’ve always got my back
You’ll guide me down the path

Don’t let me, don’t let me, don’t let me float away
Don’t let me float away from me

Is there a star up in heaven
That you wish upon
To grant grace & forgiveness
From the mess that you’ve become

Are you are ever scared at night

And it’s hard to hold your head up high
When you know you’re wrong but it feels so right
And you want to stop but you can’t say no
And you want to jump but you can’t let go

Have you looked into a mirror
Overwhelmed and ashamed
Stared at your reflection
And prayed for drastic change

Are you are ever down and out

Chorus

I’m looking you in the eye    I’m begging you not to cry
Keep hanging on    Keep hanging on

Solo
