Im waiting,

for a shiny new life when I leave the old.

Im tired,

and its hard to go on when the world goes cold.

I hunger,

for a different place He prepares for me.

I wander,

like a rudderless boat on a hostile sea.


Chorus

Deep in the darkness calling me,

out to a brand new day.

I dont want to be left in the back street.

Pinned down and hidden from the light of day.

I dont want to be sitting on the curb

when I yearn to speed down a distant highway.


I wonder,

will the world ever see what youve done for them?

I travel,

down the lines on a map with an urgent mission.

I hunger,

for a glorious place He prepares for me.

I wander,

like a rudderless boat on a hostile sea.


2nd Chorus

Deep in the darkness calling me

out to a brand new day

I dont want to exchange what You gave me,

for the worlds nihilistic ways.

I fight the fear and I cry, Lord save me!

Put me back on the narrow highway!

I dont want to be left on the back street.

Pinned down and hidden from the light of day.

I dont want to be sitting on the curb

when I yearn to speed down a distant highway.
