Glory Days

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
 I stopped believing it could change
