(M.   Liffengren/P. Liffengren)  Standing near the waters' shore - I can see to the other side  Waves are tossing back & forth - A rock's in the midst of the tide  Standing strong all by itself - The rock's sticking out of the sea  If I cross I can rest there - The rock will always protect me  I get out - on the waters - My eyes are focused on the rock  I look around - at the waves - I'm starting to sink, I need help  Save me I'm drowning - I'm a sinking man  Save me I'm dying - Someone take my hand  Save me I'm drowning - I'm a sinking man  I closed my eyes as I swam  I prayed and hoped I wouldn't die  A wave caught me and tossed me  I knew this was the end of my life  Oh I thought that I was dreaming  Because when I opened my eyes  I landed on the rock safely  To my amazement and surprise  Save me I was sinking - Save me I was dying  Save me, Save me - The rock saved my life  Save me I was sinking - Save me I was dying
