Kestis Gabriel - Lifeboat Lyrics

Sea-spray cascades across wind-swept sail
The shriek of timber at the mercy of ocean gale
Her mast buckles, uprooted from deck
Consumed, it sinks into frothing depths

You're not alone
The journey you're on will lead you to light from darkness
The torrent subsides, you look up into the sky
Thought you had survived - He ain't done yet

You're in the eye of the storm, calm mind
Ahead, above, behind; looming thunder biding time
You're overboard, grab ahold of an oar to stay afloat
You'll be carried ashore by the same storm that sunk your boat

But now you're stranded, cold and alone
Hard to count your blessings when you feel cursed right down to the bone
You light a fire and lay down watching the smoke
Rise high into the sky where you might find hope

You're not alone
The journey you're on will lead you to light from darkness
You've heard it before, a thousand days you've fought
Why must you endure more hardship?

Look up at the sky so blue
A reminder you are alive, you made it through
You made it ashore, you held on, you stayed afloat
You weathered the storm that sunk your boat

See, the fire you lit kept you alive
Look what arrived with the rising tide
The sturdiest friend you'll ever know
She returned to you, your Lifeboat
