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 cur
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 cur
when I yearn to speed down a distant highway
