Bobbing for air, I'm back again
A perfect ten
Of a dive without a pool
A perfect fool
Too slow to know
His wind has been knocked out
'Til I'm gasping
Bobbing for air
Been up and down
The once renown
Angling for another act
Another tactical advance to who knows where
You found me there
I heard you there
Calling me out of the shallows of my world
Called to something graceful and true
Gratitude's too cheap a word for all you've rea**embled
From a spirit broken and unnerved
A life preserved
Bobbing for air
I've been atoned
Creation groaned
To lift me as I drowned
And set my feet upon the mound of rock you crushed for me
A place to stand
Whisper a command
Calling me out of the shallows of my world
Called to something graceful and true
Gratitude's too cheap a word for all you've rea**embled
From a spirit broken and unnerved
A life preserved
Bobbing for air, I have been served
A life preserved
After all I'd cast away
You tipped the gray scale
'Til the scales fell back to earth
And I saw colors
I heard a shout
Calling me out of the shallows of my world
Called to something graceful and true
(Called to something graceful and true)
Gratitude's too cheap a word for all you've rea**embled
From a spirit broken and unnerved
(From a spirit broken and unnerved)
A life preserved
Calling me out of the shallows of my world
Called to something graceful, something true
Gratitude's too cheap a word for all you've rea**embled
From a spirit broken and unnerved
(From a spirit broken and unnerved)
A life preserved
Ninety-nine to one
Ninety-nine to one
(A life preserved)
Ninety-nine to one
Ninety-nine to one
(A life preserved)
Ninety-nine to one
Ninety-nine to one
