Sea of Uncertainty

I'm drowning, drowning in the Sea of Uncertainty
There is nary a single soul who would dare to help me
And I wonder helplessly as sunlight fades and dark prevails
How I shall overcome these swamping waves and gusting gales
Each slams the hull and cracks the mast of my once secure boat
Now, my sails are torn and I struggle to remain afloat
The course was once mapped, the road engraved in stone and charted
Now the stars and moon and sun have left and I stand brokenhearted
Tossed into the Sea of Uncertainty where Chance has cruelly pitted me
Against the very things I had once known and loved to live and be
The water is rising the waves are capsizing and now the time nears
When I shall be flung aloft in that sea to face my enemies and darkest fears
The captain's called Abandon Ship and now is the moment when I must flee
Into the depths of that hellish sea, that vast Sea of Uncertainty

The gray-green water rises higher, drowning, strangling, choking me
And as I flounder, flailing, fading, trying to float desperately
A light appears on far horizon beckoning, warming, calling me
And with that light a spark of hope ignites inside a part of me
The waves die down and for a moment all is calm within the sea
With renewed vigor I pump and swim, flooding with a buoyancy
Now dark is leaving, fast receding, calling in a full retreat
The water draining, power waning, 'til solid land is below my feet
Though shaky still and never stable I'll stay where this strange light abounds
Yet still inside my ear the pounding of that evil surf resounds
