Woke up in the morning, and it felt like the black of night,
Tumbled out of bed, tripped on my Bible, stumbled over the light,
Blinded by the break of day, I shut my eyes, I was alone,
Couldn't say my prayers; good God Almighty, where's my telephone?
And now I know, now I know,
Know what you meant when you told me you wanted to hold me,
And hold me, (take my hand and lead me away)
Hold me forever, (walk this land with me always)
Hold me and never, (I'll be there, don't be afraid)
Tell me you'll ever, (for forever)
Let me go.
No, I did not know; I didn't understand the plan you had for me,
And it isn't that I don't believe, I do believe that you really love me,
Yeah, but how do I reciprocate when I know there's nothing good in me?
Say it's so, say it's so,
Say it 'til I really hear it, when you say, "Don't fear it, let go."
And hold me, (take my hand and lead me away)
Hold me forever, (walk this land with me always)
Hold me and never, (I'll be there, don't be afraid)
Tell me you'll ever, (for forever)
Let me go.
Crash me, wash me on your shore,
Drifted way too far from my moorings, and more,
Overboard the oars went,
Relentless was the roll of the restless sea, set me free from its treacherous shoals.
Don't let me go,
Don't let me, don't let me go,
Oh, no, no.
Now that I have run this boat ashore, don't let me go,
Now I know,
Now I know, I know like never before,
You wait, you waited for me, and I know now, now, now,
(etc. fade)
