Fm
We were free, we were brave
We thought Providence our slave
A#m
Till the sea rose to fight
Sent us hurling to our grave
Fm
We cried out as we drowned
But our voices made no sound
A#m
In the waves...
Fm
Not a truce nor a bribe
Could help us in that tide
A#m
All our faith, all our pride
Our strength was cast aside
Fm
We were lost to the sea
Sunk and buried underneath

That unspeakable disaster fell

Oh, we were kings, we were kin
Fought as brothers till the end
A#m
We were drunk, we were hazed
We threw caution to the wind

We were gods, so we thought
But we learned who we were then

Only men! Only men...

I too, deserve to die
D# C#
Providence has turned His eye
G# C#
And grace has chosen me to stay

To live another day
D# C#
Oh, to give this heart a word to write
G# C#
Of peace (Oh!) that reached through the debris

Of that wreckage I call, "me"

And brought me safely through the night

Of love (Oh!) stronger than the flood

That fills my heart like blood

Listen to what I have found (Listen to what I have found)

Oh, grace can even save your shipwrecked life!
