Sea of Misery

I just about fell out of my chair when you mentioned the line in my song, and stated your interest in depression. That little piece of a song was from "Sea of Misery" which I wrote trying to describe depression in a time I was severely depressed. I wanted you to see the rest of the lyrics, and you will probably realize what it all means if you are familiar with this disorder.

"Sea of Misery"

I sail my ship on troubled waters

On a sea of misery

I lost my way back to safe harbor

I need Someone to rescue me

Save me Lord, I think I'm sinking

In this sea of misery

I am a thousand miles from nowhere

Send an angel down to me

I see the storm clouds gather round me

I feel the cold rain on my skin

And only darkness here surrounds me

I want to go back home again

My soul cries out for some direction

In circles I float aimlessly

And hope is my only salvation

I need Someone to rescue me

I could find Your Guiding Light

That's shining bright on Heaven's shore

And lead my ship into Your harbor

This ocean I will fear no more

I need Someone to comfort me
