Lyrics

YOU ARE MY ANCHOR
Words & Music; Jackie Carlyle

I RECALL MY LIFE AS FULL OF RAIN
PATTERNS FILLED WITH CLOUDS AND HURRICANES
THEN YOU CAME ALONG,
SOMEHOW MADE ME STRONG ENOUGH TO STAND

RUNNING FROM THE TEARS UPON MY FACE
FROM FEELINGS I TURNED INWARD AND MISPLACED
THEN YOU CAME ALONG,
SOMEHOW MADE ME STRONG, YOU TOOK MY HAND

YOU ARE MY ANCHOR – WHEN I BEGIN TO DRIFT
MY ANCHOR – WHEN TIDES BEGIN TO SHIFT
MY ANCHOR – AND WHEN THE CLOUDS BEGIN TO LIFT
YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE

I WAS LIKE A SHIP WITHOUT A PORT
ALWAYS SETTING SAIL BUT FALLING SHORT
FIGHTING WITH THE WIND,
THEN YOU PULLED ME IN, AND TOOK ME HOME

YOU ARE MY ANCHOR – WHEN I BEGIN TO DRIFT
MY ANCHOR – WHEN TIDES BEGIN TO SHIFT
MY ANCHOR – AND WHEN THE CLOUDS BEGIN TO LIFT
YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE

YOU ARE LIKE THE SUN UPON A WAVE
YOU ARE LIKE THE LIGHT WITHIN A CAVE
EVERYWHERE I TURN,
I SEE YOUR SMILE AND YEARN, TO BE BACK HOME

YOU ARE MY ANCHOR – WHEN I BEGIN TO DRIFT
MY ANCHOR – WHEN TIDES BEGIN TO SHIFT
MY ANCHOR – AND WHEN THE CLOUDS BEGIN TO LIFT
YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE

YOU ARE MY ANCHOR – WHEN I BEGIN TO DRIFT
MY ANCHOR – WHEN TIDES BEGIN TO SHIFT
MY ANCHOR – AND WHEN THE CLOUDS BEGIN TO LIFT
YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE


YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE, YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE,
YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE
