Voices and Vessels - The Undertow lyrics

I stand here with my feet in the sand Just waiting for the tide to pull me out To show me how to live, to cleanse me of all my burdens Live life the way you have always wanted to Not what others have written But if you find yourself lost in its pages Find your heart and it'll guide you through in the right direction I hope you're still standing after the waves have crashed overhead Caught in the undertow, they gesture for you I can't keep living the way you want me to It's not for you to decide I've got one shot to make it through Let's look to the past and look to the future with an open heart, and a wiser mind You've learned from mistakes and gained perception You've become what I've always wanted Free from future, living in this moment I can't keep living the way you want me to It's not for you to decide I've got one shot to make it through I'm just a man With ambitions and an iron hand And I'd like to prevail Now that I'm stronger than before Listening to the present Being aware of the past
