Story Behind the Song
First song that was any good that the band wrote.
Lyrics
The wind is blowing the burden I must shoulder.
The water is crashing - I can hardly hold her.
And I can't find you.
My head is spinning and I’m loosing control
of the things in my life that I so rigidly hold.
And I can’t find you.
The wind is blowing the chip off my shoulder,
and the water is crashing, and it’s getting colder.
And I can’t find you.
My head is spinning and I’m loosing control.
My vision is blurred. My desires ore null.
And I can’t find you.
I get down on my knees. I look to the skies.
I’m praying for reason. Please God help me.
And I’m down on my knees. And I lift up my eyes.
And I'm praying for peace.
I look in front of me, I see all I want.
When I remember, I see all you did.
And I want to see you.
I know you’ll lead me. You know I’ll follow.
But how can I know what you want me to do.
It seem like we’ve gone this way before.
I get down on my knees. I look to the skies.
I’m praying for reason. Please God show me.
And I’m down on my knees. And I lift up my eyes.
And I receive my peace.
I sit on my steps and look at the birds and trees
asking my friend why is that not me.
Not a care in the world, no pressure to fall down.
All my cares will be gone when that last trumpet sounds.
Trying to please you looks like a simple task.
Living a normal life; only you penetrate my mask.
I’m scared, so scared of letting you down again.
I’ve got no one else to run, you are my best friend.
I’m down on my knees. I look to the skies.
I’m praying for reason. Please God lead me.
I’m down on my knees. I lift up my eyes.
I’m praying for peace.
I’m longing to please. I know you hear my cries.
My heart says yes but can’t see through Your eyes.
I’ll push through the mush, of faithless ambition,
in your dedicated hands, to complete your mission.
