Albatross

My heart was cast to greener grass
 There in your garden walls
 I laid my plans to trade my hand
 In answer to your call
 ♪
 Was heading for your warmer shores
 There on my sinking ship
 I raised the mast to race my past
 Your name upon my lips
 ♪
 There in the storms, illusions formed
 Around my guiding stars
 The sirens call, they tug and pull
 On the strings of wounded hearts
 I saw the trail of second chances
 Lying wasted in my wake
 I saw that every heart I'd ever held
 I'd never failed to break
 Forsaking grace for shame, I sailed away
 And became a drifting wreck
 With the saviour's cross, an albatross
 To hang around my neck
 I got lost in the tempest
 Drowning in doubt
 Tossed by the rapids
 My last hope devoured
 My will had surrendered
 My soul a slave
 To the raging waves
 ♪
 I stopped believing it could change
