Drifting
Plumb Lyrics

There's a sea of lonely swimming sad
There are many people who are sad and lonely, desperately searching for someone to hold on to.

Looking just for an arm to grab
These people are searching for someone to hold them tight and comfort them during their difficult times.

I don't need to understand
It is not necessary for me to fully comprehend their pain and suffering to offer them support and hope.

I'm just lending you the two that I have
Although I cannot fix all their problems, I am willing to offer them both my arms and support to help them get through tough times.

You might be drifting
You may feel lost and disconnected from the world around you.

And can't find the shore
You may feel like you are floundering without direction and have lost your sense of purpose.

So hopeless and all alone
This struggle may make you feel alone, isolated and hopeless.

The waves are crashing all around you
Life is throwing unexpected difficulties your way, making you feel overwhelmed and unsure.

Just when you've lost the will to live
At the point when life seems unbearable, and you don't have the strength to carry on anymore.

You see the sun
Hope appears, and things start to look up for you.

Can we make a searchlight
Can we create something that will illuminate the way forward and guide us to safety?

From all the bridges that we burn?
Can we create something good and useful from our past mistakes, even if we have burned bridges with others?

Do you see a rescue?
Do you see a way out of your current struggle or setback?

Or a deeper kind of hurt?
Or are you struggling with a much deeper wound or pain that is rooted in your past?

Who could love you, Who could hold you?
These are questions that people who are feeling down often ask themselves. They struggle to find people who can love and support them unconditionally during their difficult times.

I'd swim across the sea
I would do anything to support and help you through your difficult times.

You don't have to be alone
Even if you feel sad and lonely, you don't have to struggle alone. We are here to hold your hand and guide you towards the shore.

Where the shallow gets so deep
Even though it may seem like you cannot reach the surface, things will get better as you swim closer to the surface and towards the shore.

I am hurt and nearly drown (Open up your eyes)
Even though I have been hurt and nearly drowned myself, I have opened my eyes to your struggles and recognize your pain.

I cry for help you turned around (Open up your eyes)
Even though I originally asked for help, I now know that you need my help and have turned around to offer my support.

Farther from the shore Or you'll be farther from the shore
If we do not take action to help each other get to the shore, we will only drift farther away from the safety of the shore.

I am hurt and nearly drown (You're not alone)
Although I have my own pain and struggles, I want you to know that you're not alone and that I am here to support you.

I cry for help you turned around (I'm not letting go)
When I asked for help, you turned around, and now, I am letting you know that I am committed to holding onto you and staying with you through your struggles.

Farther from the shore So you're not farther from the shore
We need to help each other reach the shore and not let our struggles cause us to drift farther away from safety.

[Chorus]
The chorus is a repeated reminder of the sea of loneliness and hopelessness during tough times and the hope that things will improve if we offer each other help and support.
