Lyrics
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
