I once gave away my treasure to a pirate,
Coasting on the sea of life,
Where the sun would shine all day.
Then, the seas got rough
and the sun went down to stay.
Man, that pirate in life,
She threw my treasure away!
Tides of life are never the same,
But there's one thing that will never change
His peace and love will bring you through the storm.
God wants your love, and to sail with you forever.
Man, that pirate in life, she lost my treasure forever.
And I'm stuck, crying and sinking in a sea of lonliness.
Don't know which way is up, and I'm falling fast
Can't swim, I'm a' loosin' my breath.
