I’m Missing the Boat to Catch the Plane

I’m standing next to a grain of salt

My two shoes moving back and forth

The music losing the beat to my feet

I’m thinking through more words and lines

Then this song can contrive

I’m just feeling great in a state of one

Plus one to make two only works if it’s right

If it makes light of life when in vain despite the rain

One makes sense attached to these things

Yeah I’m intentionally missing this boat to catch the plane

The lord hands me life in the palm of my hand

I’m making less sense to myself

And more sense to the king, he knows the man I have not found

These things I’m no longer bound to and yeah he becomes the song’s sound

He sat there at the bottom of the sea with me his arms wrapped around

I should have been left to drown, the dusk had just begun

You brought me out of the sea, to stand on land to watch the sunrise ounce more

I’m here just to be; I stare at my hand, the sun still rising in the distance

Take my heart towards the path of most resistance, so that I may see my hearts desire

So I may exercise the self-control you armed me with

So I may walk this wire the things we say travel along

Standing on top of the useless sound so strong

Of lost voice and lost choice, I would rather make in your light

In your light

My mind body and soul cries out let me see your light

I’m standing next to a grain of salt

I’m intentionally missing the boat to catch the plane
