Rescue me
Inhabited Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Each step I take from You I see
Who I really am
I know the good in me is only
Your reflection
I look behind me and I see You
No where in sight
I look down, my hands are bound
I can't even praise You and
I'm crying out to You

[Chorus]
So come and rescue me
I'm here on bended knee
And I'm crying out to You
All I really, really want is to be free
So take my hand here I am
Oh come and free me
Take my hand here I am
Oh come and rescue me

I've drifted so far
Can't even see the shore
I've been lost in the waves
But haven't been fighting
I'm sinking fast
Oh is there an end to this
I can't breathe I'm in too deep
But You can save me
I'm crying out to You

I'm drowning in my decisions
And I'm frustrated and I'm
Disappointed
It's my world You see and I want out

[Chorus]

So come and rescue me
I'm here on bended knee
And I'm crying, I'm crying

I'm crying out to You
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying out to You





Oh come and rescue me
