RESCUED

Somewhere close to nowhere you saw me slip
I didn’t know you were watching me lose my grip
You saw me out on a spacewalk after the mothership had gone

I think you always knew
What was going on

Like a ringside coach you taught me how to fight
In the middle of a dark, dark time you shone a light
Steer straight into the wind, never fear the storm

I think you always knew
What was going on

You saw me fall, you heard me call
Tumbling down to the end of it all
Broken wings failing in the air
Time racing by at the speed of despair
When the ground stopped rushing up
That’s when I knew

You rescued me, cradled me
Showed me what love is meant to be
Carved a path through rough terrain
Taught me how to live again
When my head stopped spinning
That’s when I knew

I had been rescued from a cruel sea
Brought back to the ship by gentle arms reaching out to me
It took me far too long to find a harbour safe and calm

I think you always knew
What was going on

You held my hand, you helped me stand
Brace myself against the raging river
You built a bridge to the land
Where hope and understanding live
When my head stopped spinning
That’s when I knew

I had been rescued
I knew, I knew
I had been rescued
I knew it was you

You saw me fall, you heard me call
Tumbling down to the end of it all
Broken wings failing in the air
Time racing by at the speed of despair
When the ground stopped rushing up
That’s when I knew

I had been rescued
I knew, I knew
I had been rescued
I always knew it was you
