At your bidding I fell fifty feet into salt water. I scrambled to hold on or be lost forever. You said it was for my own sake, And watched as I was swallowed in the wake. () I knew at once but still I'm so surprised. You threw that stone and it skipped a million times. How was I supposed to know I would end up in the undertow? A weave of rope was hanging off the back of this freight liner So I could catch myself and crawl up inside her. I woke and I was alive Before I knew if I had survived. I'll learn to forgive mistakes And be forgiven for the ones I've made. I'll learn to forgive mistakes And be forgiven for the ones I've made.
