Prayin' for Shore

In an ol' leaky boat Somewhere on the sea Tryin' to get away from the war Welcome or not, we got to land soon Oh Lord, prayin' for shore The town where I was born With all my family's gone Shattered by blast after blast My will to live is all that survived But each hour might be my last Oh Lord, prayin' for shore Our salty tears rejoin the sea Bowin' our heads Weepin' for the ones still livin' For the dyin', oh Lord, and the dead Oh Lord, prayin' for shore Mm, surrounded by water, dyin' of thirst Barely holdin' on Once upon a time, we had all we needed an' more But what we need right now, is shore Oh Lord, prayin' for shore God knows what awaits us In a distant, stranger's land Might be an angry crowd, shakin' fists in the air Might be people reachin' out a helpin' hand Oh Lord, prayin' for shore Oh Lord, prayin' for shore
