I let down my rope

To a sea I’m swimming in

Full of rage and hope

And I put up my arms

To a light I’m shadowing

Full of all my wrong

And time, time for me to go

In time, time for you to know

What I am and how I came to be

Half alive and swimming on the sea

Made of many tears

Well, I try to hold on

Everyone is singing now

But am I too far gone?

And I made up my mind

Heaven still ain't strong enough

For talk and alibis

And time, time for me to go

In time, I wanted you to know

What I am and how I came to be

Half alive and swimming on the sea

A man of many tears

And time, time for me to go

Out of time, if only you could know

Who I am and who I long to be

In my hands, swimming sea

The man of many tears

The man of many tears

The man of many tears

The man of many tears
