Carried Away
Sonicflood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are the only hope I have
The reason in my reason
The only thing that lasts
How could I begin to settle
When all within me longs
To step into the shelter
Of your everlasting arms
I want to get carried away
I want to get tossed by your waves
I don't care where or how deep
I'm gonna jump in with both feet
I want to get carried away
I want to get lost in your ways
I want to be held by your truth
I want to behold all of you
I'm gonna be all yours today
I want to get carried away
You are the wisdom of the ages
You are the one who stays the same
The power in the wind
The sun left by the rain
How could I begin to make it
If all I had was me
Just take me as I am Lord
And sweep me out to sea.
Some say You're far away
But I know You're here with me
I could go anywhere
And still you'd be there with me
I know You're here with me.

How am I supposed to succeed
If all I had was me
If I was all I had
Just take me as I am Lord
Accept me for who I am Lord
And sweep me out to sea.
And overwhelm me with your power.
Some say You're far away
Some believe you are distant
But I know You're here with me
But I am certain you are here with me
I could go anywhere
I could travel anywhere
And still you'd be there with me
And you would still be by my side
I know You're here with me.
I am confident that you are present with me

You are the open door to freedom
You are the only hope I have
The reason in my reason
The only thing that lasts
How could I begin to settle
When all within me longs
To step into the shelter
Of your everlasting arms
I want to get carried away
I want to get tossed by your waves
I don't care where or how deep
I'm gonna jump in with both feet
I want to get carried away
I want to get lost in your ways
I want to be held by your truth
I want to behold all of you
I'm gonna be all yours today
I want to get carried away
You are the wisdom of the ages
You are the one who stays the same
The power in the wind
The sun left by the rain
How could I begin to make it
If all I had was me
Just take me as I am Lord
And sweep me out to sea.
Some say You're far away
But I know You're here with me
I could go anywhere
And still you'd be there with me
I know You're here with me.
