standing at the water's edge, i feel a trembling fear as the waves crash 'round my ankles feel the thunder in my ear i see the change is coming, the wind is at my back but doubt overtakes me and my eyes turn to black my past lurks behind me, keeping me on guard i don't want to chance it, these steps are just too hard i know He's behind me but what can i do i'm frail, i'm human, and i don't want to fail you { i can't walk on water with these dirty feet but He can walk on water and He'll carry me} so put your arms around me carry me to sea waves knock against me but i know I'm free from d**h and loneliness, darkness, despair this life is choppy but i don't care {chorus again}
