I feel like an empty vessel
Staggering by the shore
I’ve lost my way like an orphan wind
I don’t see a way through.
I don’t see a door.
I need an anchor,
An anchor, to help me stay adrift.
I need a compass.
A compass, to guide me to exist.
Don’t leave me dangling.
Come now love, guide me to you!
I’m standing right where you left me waiting
Waiting, for life to happen.
Don’t keep me waiting anymore
Give me a chance to fend for.
Come, steer me with your grace.
As I lie here in dreams awake,
Be my light, my clearer vision.
Make the emptiness go away.
Be my lover, a convincing reason.
Come fill me up with an appetite for life
Don’t let the emptiness devour me
Give me a bearing,
A tool to survive.
Don’t leave me with my demons.
Come now love, guide me to you!
I need an anchor,
An anchor, to help me stay adrift.
I need a compass.
A compass, to guide me to exist.
I’ve been tried, I’ve been misled!
Come, undo my bungled attempt.
To reach out, I raised my hand
But, I’m falling down instead
Be my anchor, my cornerstone
Bring me ashore, let me come through
Be my compass, influence me
Come now love,
Guide me to you!

When I crumble and fall
Come steer me with your grace
Take down my wall
Lock me in your embrace
When all my dreams fail
Come give me a taste of life
Let not my blood turn stale
Untangle my inner strife
‘Cause that’s where my life is hiding
Come be my Silver lining.
Don’t leave me with my demons.
Don’t let the emptiness devour me
Be my bearing,
My tool to survive
Guide me to you
Let me feel alive!
When the lights fade out
And my fears crawl
Shed the silhouette
‘Cause that’s where my life is hiding
Come be my Silver lining.
Heave me out of the ruins
Where love was torn down
And lives were destroyed.
Come be my shining light
Break the walls that confine me
Lock me in your embrace
‘Cause that’s where my life is hiding.
Just be my Silver lining.
