You put tape over my mouth,
And rope around my hands...
You put shackles on my feet,
Now I can hardly stand to hear those words I wrote,
'Bout how we built a boat and set it out to sail...
Then you said we failed, but we didn't fail...
You failed me...
And I pray that you'll always sing along,
And I pray that you will always sing...
You knocked my ship off course,
And tied it up to land...
This bow that used to float is buried in sand...
To all those kids at sea who were listening,
Singing those words I wrote...
When I lost all hope you healed me...
When I couldn't heal, you healed me...
And I pray that you'll always sing along,
And I pray that you will always sing...
Oh how I long to sing those songs I used to sing a million times before,
Well I don't sing them anymore...
But I still sing...
I still sing.
