When billy had just turned eight,
he was all alone on a boat
by his house on a lake.
he laid back, as he closed his eyes,
and he drifted off to sleep.
he awoke to the sound of crashing waves.
his boat was a million miles away.
and just when he thought he'd seen the end,
he heard his father's voice again.
he said...
Chorus:
son, just take my hand.
rest your feet on solid land.
keep your eyes laid on me.
don't be swayed by the sea,
and i will lead you home.
You know that i live for you,
but sometimes i get caught
in the storm and i fall.
you know when i'm in that boat,
and the world comes seeping in.
sometimes i start sinking in the sea.
sometimes i'm in way too deep for me.
sometimes when i'm crying out for fear,
i hear you whisper in my ear.
you say...
Repeat chorus
