I'm waiting,
For a shiny new life when I leave the old.
I'm tired,
And it's hard to go on when the world goes cold.
I hunger,
For a different place He prepares for me.
I wander,
Like a rudderless boat on a hostile sea.

Chorus
Deep in the darkness calling me,
Out to a brand new day.
I don't want to be left in the back street.
Pinned down and hidden from the light of day.
I don't want to be sitting on the curb
When I yearn to speed down a distant highway.

I wonder,
Will the world ever see what you've done for them?
I travel,
Down the lines on a map with an urgent mission.
I hunger,
For a glorious place He prepares for me.
I wander,
Like a rudderless boat on a hostile sea.

2nd Chorus
Deep in the darkness calling me
Out to a brand new day
I don't want to exchange what You gave me,
For the worlds nihilistic ways.
I fight the fear and I cry, Lord save me!
Put me back on the narrow highway!
I don't want to be left on the back street.
Pinned down and hidden from the light of day.
I don't want to be sitting on the curb
When I yearn to speed down a distant highway.
