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
