Someone
Bruce & Sammy Frye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone teach me how to smile
Someone teach me how to catch things
Someone walk the extra mile
Someone take me to the cliffs edge
Someone leave me there alone
Someone help me face my fear
Time is not a friend of mortals
There is so much left to do
I am drowning in the water
I am drowning in the sea
I had nothing left to offer
Someone came and rescued me
Someone saw me going backwards
Someone help me turn around
Someone gave to me a new life
Someone showed me what He'd found
Tears are not a sign of sadness
Listen when He speaks to you
I am drowning in the water
I am drowning in the sea
I had nothing left to offer
Someone came and rescued me
Someone's hands and head are bleeding
Someone has no more to give
Someone came and saw and conquered
Someone died that we might live
Oh, I am drowning in the water (I am drowning in the water)
I am drowning in the sea (I am drowning in the sea)
I had nothing left to offer (I had nothing left to offer)
Someone came and rescued me (Someone came and rescued me)
They rescued me
They rescued me
I am drowning in the water (I am drowning in the water)
I am drowning in the sea (I am drowning in the sea)
I had nothing left to offer (I had nothing left to offer)
Someone came and rescued me
