Lyrics

Soft waves whisper secrets the tide brings dreams anew
Time stretches like the shadows forgetting who I am who are you

Sitting on the sand watching the boats glide by
Too far to call for help as I bury my pride
Mirages of my hometown flicker in the sun’s warm embrace
But all I have is silence and empty lonely space

God can you hear me I send my prayers to the sky
Hoping for patience in the cries of seagulls high
They tell me to persevere but oh the nights grown long
I’m a ghost in my own living can you help me stay strong

Oh watching time pass by stranded on this isle alone
Living off the land means surviving but never home
I built my shelter it’s safe but feels so cold
I’m fighting through this darkness although my heart feels old

A storm took down my dreams tossed me like fragile glass
All that’s left is my own will oh how long can I last
The rustle of the leaves the cries of creatures near
In their eyes I see the shadows of all I used to fear

Many thought I drowned at sea lost beneath the wave
But I am still here fighting do I know how to be saved
When the night closes in and the eerie sounds surround
I cling to the hope that one day help will be found

Oh watching time pass by stranded on this isle alone
Living off the land means surviving but never home
I built my shelter it’s safe but feels so cold
I’m fighting through this darkness although my heart feels old

Give me strength to see tomorrow give me light in the shades of gray
Let the heavens answer softly guide me through the fray
Years drift like the smoke from campfire’s warm embrace
Longing for a face to hold a memory’s grace

I recall daughter echoes a life before this plight
A simple fishing trip that turned into endless night
Will I fall to larger beasts swallowed by the earth
A question with no answer just wishing for my worth

Oh watching time pass by stranded on this isle alone
Living off the land means surviving but never home
I built my shelter it’s safe but feels so cold
I’m fighting through this darkness although my heart feels old

This can’t be the end for me there’s so much more to give
I see the dawn approaching it’s the will to survive that lives
And while the sun sets gracefully painting skies above
I’ll find my peace and strength wrapped in the arms I love
