lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wrote you this song to get you off my back
Talking of my wrongs and asking for some slack
And I was shipwrecked and sunk but I am back to hoisting sails
With my attention on intention and the direction of the storms and gales

[Prechorus]
Life is too short to shut up, too long to suffer through
And I have to admit it that I am guilty too
But I am past that point now, though not by my own strength
Thank God for shattered glass and reflection

[Chorus]
Weight & sea
Your time is coming
When you'll be
Brought to your knees
You will never see me running
Away from my purpose and into the sea

[Verse 2]
This song is for you and for your doubts and your fears
I know why you're scared, you've known loss in your years
What’s your waking life meant while I have been asleep?
There's weight on my mind and a sea at my feet
The curse of this world our strength alone cannot meet
But when I'm broken down, like iron into rust
I am carried on by The Author of Brokenness

[Prechorus]
Life is too short to sit out, too black and white to see as gray
Too long to close my eyes on and try to wish away
But I am past that point now, thank God I’m past that point now!
Thank God for shattered glass and reflection

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
And I'm waiting for the world to change
While the world waits for me

[Chorus]
