Children 18:3 - Stronger lyrics

I was caught up in a sandbar for the tide had not come in The ship was all but grounded here waiting to begin There's a trick to understanding what it is you couldn't see And a map without a compa** is impossible to read Lights out, a pillowcase to cry on A good friend to rely on for a prayer Oh please be careful my brother The fighting will never be fair Oh, it can only make me stronger Cast the weight away Oh, stronger and stronger Sail away, away The pathway to the future is always straight ahead So I took off in that direction just to see where it led The weather's nice in Florida when you come from the midwest But pretty soon it turned to desert and it's sure been a test Take heart behind the bathroom door A good shoulder to cry on unaware But don't forget that a kick in the face is for some daily fare It's struggle that I can't escape But it's something I can run to
