Rickety Boat

In the pit of my stomach I feel weak So distant I can hardly sleep Walking blind on a busy street Emotions constantly changing on the inside I'm up then I'm down Not myself when you're around Distractions getting in the way Burying inside everything I've wanted to say Sinking struggling to stay afloat Can't stand still on this rickety boat Yet I find myself in pursuit of happiness Gaining perspective and knowledge Becoming easier to relax with no stress Dark moments eventually bring prosperity Through the light of Christ I see great times ahead of me To live each moment is truly a gift Letting go of the doubts I'm ready to shift To our king who saved us from sin I lift my hands to you to thank you again
