In waters calm I sailed from shore
  To see what I might see
  And having never sailed before
  I drifted aimlessly
  A warm breeze rocked my boat until
  In slumber I fell sound
  But woke to find the light grown dim
  And dark clouds gathering 'round
  
  In haste I worked at turning back
  But now the wind blew wrong
  And when the night came cold and black
  My strength was almost gone
  But with one last small thread of hope
  I bowed my head to pray
  Then through the dark I saw a rope
  And heard a calm voice say
  
  Grab the rope hold it tight
  In the distance shines a light
  Neither fear nor feel alone
  There is one who'll lead you home
  
  I heard my heart beat loud and fast
  But did as I was told
  And with the rosey dawn at last
  Dry land I did behold
  I kissed the sandy banks and swore
  My sailing days were through
  But should I ever stray from shore
  I know now what to do
  
  Grab the rope hold it tight
  In the distance shines a light
  Neither fear nor feel alone
  There is one who'll lead you home
  
  Grab the rope hold it tight
  In the distance shines a light
