Select language to translate this lyric
In this world where the truth eludes me
Desperation fills my soul
There is no one here to guide me
Or to show me the way to go
There was a time when I was certain
There were days of hope divine
But when I looked behind the curtain
No salvation do I find
I've been reluctant to pray
I've been holding the line
And too far away I'm falling behind
I came into the world
With a whimper and a moan
Now I'm standing by the river alone
Oh come, help me find the way
Lift up my heart, teach me to pray
I'm weary and bored
In the darkness I roam
Now I'm standing by the river alone
Out on the sea the old ship staggers
Sailing into the dim, dark night
With her sails all torn and in tatters
She is listing and losing the fight
Will she sail on into tomorrow?
Will we find new faith in the dawn?
Can we carry our joy and our sorrows
Trusting that the morning will come?
I've been reluctant to pray
I've been holding the line
And too far away I'm falling behind
I came into the world
With a whimper and a moan
Now I'm standing by the river alone
Oh come, help me find the way
Lift up my heart, teach me to pray
I'm weary and bored
In the darkness I roam
Now I'm standing by the river alone
