Steve Taylor - A Life Preserved lyrics

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 (*fade into the next song, "Comedian"*)
