I need a new foundation
To build my hopes upon.
I need a rock.
Sand just slides
I sink in mud.

I'll find a rock
I this sea of sand
and mud.
The oceans on fire.

Will you be the one
I can build my hopes on?
Hold me up,
Don't let me fall?

Crumble beneath me
I know you will never do
Help me stand
Through stormy seas

I can walk on water
If you're with me
I'll stand in fire
Till you come for me
