my 9th life almost lost again
caught in the ocean turmoil whirlwind
you passed me - i called out 'i'm fine'
then turned and saw there was no shoreline

how quickly my faith walked away
before i had a chance to say goodbye
the peace i'd made with her died that day
and i was left with no wings to fly

sat on a rock and tried to cry
and you stayed silent while the wind hummed
and why that moment stays in mind
that peace that comes from being humbled

i cried out my fear
then i called out your name
quiet but clear
you were sent, then you came
so thank you my dear
for being the same
and saving me from
myself once again
