A Life Preserved

Bobbing for air, I'm back again
 A perfect ten of a dive without a pool
 A perfect fool too slow to know
 His wind has been knocked out till I'm gasping
 Bobbing for air, been up and down
 The once renown, angling for another act
 Another tactical advance to who knows where
 You found me there, I heard you there
 Calling me out of the shallows of my world
 Called to something graceful, something true
 Gratitude's too cheap a word for all you've reassembled
 From a spirit broken and unnerved
 A life preserved
 A life preserved
 Bobbing for air, I've been atoned
 Creation groaned to lift me as I drowned
 And set my feet up on the mound of rock you crushed for me
 A place to stand, whisper a command
 Calling me out of the shallows of my world
 Called to something graceful, something true
 Gratitude's too cheap a word for all you've reassembled
 From a spirit broken and unnerved
 A life preserved
 Bobbing for air, I have been served
 A life preserved after all I'd cast away
 You tipped the grayscale till the scales fell back to earth
 And I saw colors, I heard a shout
 Bobbing for air
 Calling me out of the shallows of my world
 Called to something graceful, something true
 Gratitude's too cheap a word for all you've reassembled
 From a spirit broken and unnerved
 A life preserved
 Calling me out of the shallows of my world
 Called to something graceful, something true
 Gratitude's too cheap a word for all you've reassembled
 From a spirit broken and unnerved
 A life preserved
