Lyrics
I feel destruction running hard through my veins
I feel a strong sense of destruction coursing through my veins.
But I see redemption rushing my way
Despite the destructive feelings, I see the possibility of redemption approaching quickly.
My victories are bittersweet and now I can tell
My victories have a mix of joy and sorrow, and now I can discern that.
The only place my plans have lead me is right where I fell
The only result of my plans has been leading me back to the point of failure.
I'm overboard, too far from shore, castaway trying to make it home
I am adrift, too distant from safety, a castaway striving to find my way home.
I catch my breath to save myself but I can't
I pause to regain my breath in an attempt to rescue myself, but it seems challenging.
In my sight You were just in time, I feel You now, You're by my side
You, possibly a divine presence, intervened just in time, and I sense your support.
And I know You gave me a gift of a second chance
I recognize that you granted me the gift of a second chance.
I had a dream of a life of my own
I once dreamed of having a life of my own.
And I had a place that I thought was my home
I believed I had found a place that I thought of as my home.
But now I see I just can't have it any other way
Now I understand that things cannot be any other way.
It's all or nothing, do or die and I'm the price I pay because
It's a situation of all or nothing, do or die, and I bear the consequences.
I'm overboard, too far from shore, castaway trying to make it home
Still adrift, too distant from safety, I persist as a castaway, striving for home.
I catch my breath to save myself but I can't
Despite efforts to save myself, catching my breath remains a challenging task.
In my sight You were just in time, I feel You now, You're by my side
You remain in my sight, offering support just in time, and I feel your presence.
And I know You gave me a gift of a second chance
Acknowledging that you have given me a valuable second chance.
A second chance
This second chance is emphasized.
A second chance I won't forget, a second life I won't regret
This second chance is unforgettable, and the second life that follows will not be regretted.
A second wind to brave this night, a second more to make it right
A renewed strength to face challenges in the night, and a bit more time to set things right.
A second chance I won't forget, a second life I won't regret
Reiterating the importance of not forgetting the second chance and not regretting the second life.
A second wind to brave this night, a second more to make it right
Emphasizing the additional strength to face challenges and the extra time to make amends.
I'm overboard, too far from shore, castaway trying to make it home
Continuing to be adrift, too far from safety, persisting as a castaway, seeking a way home.
I catch my breath to save myself but I can't
Efforts to save myself persist, though catching my breath remains elusive.
In my sight You were just in time, I feel You now, You're by my side
Your presence is timely, and I feel your support by my side.
And I know You gave me a gift of a second chance
Expressing gratitude for the acknowledged gift of a second chance.
A gift of a second chance
Reaffirming the gratitude for the gift of a second chance.
I'm a castaway
Summarizing the situation as being a castaway, but with the added gift of a second chance.
With a gift of a second chance
Acknowledging being a castaway with the gift of a second chance once again.
