I watched you gasp for breath
As the waves consumed your being
I tried to grab your hand
But you were already six feet under

I dove into the water
I found you sinking there
You saw me but your eyes were dead
You didn't even flinch

I tried to pull you up
But there were anchors on your feet
Did you put them there yourself?

I wish I could say
I was the one who detached the weight
The one who pulled you to shore
But this was not my doing

You saw some sort of light
At the end of this nightmare
You found the hope and courage
To tear the anchors apart

I hope you're standing in the sun
Enjoying it now even more
You didn't lose your way
You just took a detour

(I'm glad you're back on track)
