lyrics

OVERBOARD

I’ve wasted so much time
And you’ve been on my mind.
I’ve been running when I should have been believing.
I;ve been waiting but I’ve come to know the feeling
That I’m going overboard for you.

I’ve seen you move my life, you turn my black to white.
Yes I’ve been watching and I’ve come to be believing.
If you’re the answer then my question’s disappearing,
And I’m going overboard for you.

CHORUS
Well, it took a little time for me to love you.
And it took a little time for me to care.
And it took a little time for me to notice you around.
But I’m so glad I am so glad that you are here.

You clothe my world with light.
You fight my hardest fight.
You turn my nightmares into something that’s worth dreaming.
You make me want to sing instead of always screaming.
And I’m going overboard for you.

Bridge
Who’d have thought that after all the pain and bleeding
That I’d have grown to fight the stronger fight?
Who’d have thought that I’d be standing here believing
That you are every answer to the prayers that I have prayed?

I hold this all in sight, and hope I’ll never find
That I’ve forgotten who it was that first redeemed me.
And when they ask me why my clothes are soaked it’s easy
I’ve been going overboard for you.
