I'm drifting on an endless sea, All I hear is the rolling waves, As I drift so quietly, My hope begins to break. I'm drifting in this endless sea, All I see is eternal blue-green, As I find my heart is silent, It begins to shatter. I'm drifting with this endless sea, All I know is hunger and thirst, As my old radio crackles, The last bit of power fades. I'm drifting on an endless sea, All I feel is the power of the tide, As my raft is thrown about, My body sinks down. I'm sinking in an endless sea, All I know is that I'm drowning, As my breath leaves in a cloud of bubbles, I begin to die. I'm floating in this endless sea, All I feel is fear, As my hands close around water, Death is very near. I'm swimming through this endless sea, All I see is saltwater, As my arms desperately stroke, My lungs taste the air. I'm treading this endless sea, All I see is the hull of a ship, As my arms wave at the crew, They notice me there. I'm out of the infinite sea, All I know is that I'm free, As a blanket wraps around my shoulders, I know that it's all right.

Endless Sea
I'm drifting on an endless sea, All I hear is the rolling waves, As I drift so quietly, My hope begins to break. I'm drifting in this endless sea, All I see is eternal blue-green, As I find my heart is silent, It begins to shatter. I'm drifting with this endless sea, All I know is hunger and thirst, As my old radio crackles, The last bit of power fades. I'm drifting on an endless sea, All I feel is the power of the tide, As my raft is thrown about, My body sinks down. I'm sinking in an endless sea, All I know is that I'm drowning, As my breath leaves in a cloud of bubbles, I begin to die. I'm floating in this endless sea, All I feel is fear, As my hands close around water, Death is very near. I'm swimming through this endless sea, All I see is saltwater, As my arms desperately stroke, My lungs taste the air. I'm treading this endless sea, All I see is the hull of a ship, As my arms wave at the crew, They notice me there. I'm out of the infinite sea, All I know is that I'm free, As a blanket wraps around my shoulders, I know that it's all right.
