Lyrics
Verse 1
The salt air came in heavy on a tired man's bones
Rome was waiting somewhere past the edge of the foam
He'd worn the inside of a jail cell like a second skin
But out here on the open water, something settled in
Verse 2
No telling what was waiting at the end of the sea
But the Spirit that was in him was enough to keep him free
Not free from what was coming, not free from what had been
Just free down in the deepest place that freedom ever lived
Chorus
And I think I understand him just a little tonight
Not the chains or the calling, just the quieting inside
When you've given everything you had and you'd give it again
And the only thing left is just grateful
Just grateful, amen
Verse 3
I've worn a few of my own chains, Lord, you know that's true
Spent some years running hard from everything but you
But somewhere on the water of this life you gave to me
I found that same quiet place that Paul found on that sea
Bridge
The stars don't ask you nothing out here on the open water
God's got a purpose and it's bigger than my sorrow
I've been broke and I've been blessed and I've been both the same day
And I wouldn't trade a moment
Not a single wave
Final Chorus
And I think I understand him just a little tonight
Not the chains or the calling, just the quieting inside
When you've given everything you had and you'd give it again
And the only thing left is just grateful
Just grateful
Just grateful, amen
