Standing on the shoreline, looking out to sea At oceans of Your hopes for me, just beyond my reach I've been here on this island for way too many years A prisoner of my comfort, a slave to my own fear Doubt is saying got to stay Faith is saying sail away
CHORUS: I know it's safe here on the shore But freedom is worth dying for Liberation comes to those Who hear the truth and sail with you I'll go where you are calling me I'll be what you meant me to be I know the risk is real, but I wanna feel The freedom of the sea
With eyes to the horizon, mist against my face I'll leave behind this island in Your abounding grace With Your word as my compass I'll chase my destiny For I know the words of Your will can set my spirit free Doubt is saying got to stay Faith is saying sail away
CHORUS
Doubt is saying got to stay But I'm taking up the anchor Faith is saying sail away And I'm heading for the deep
CHORUS
The freedom of the sea.... The freedom of the sea....
