Deep, deep sea
It is all calm and silent
And there goes a boat in the middle of it
There is none but me in itIt is a lonely journey
No acquintance or any relation to travel with me
It is a lonely journey
Deep, deep sea
It is all calm and silent

There are two islands
But I can land just on one
There is turbulance in my mind; which one to choose?
I have made my mind up to reach the place that would give me joy
As I move to this island
My friends and acquiantances once close to me bid bye to me
They wanted me to change but I chose not to
There is no sorrow but only happiness
And happiness blossoms from the depth of the heart like fragrant flowers

No more I am the rower
It's You Lord, it's You
The boat is sailing in calm waters
And the Lord has calmed the storm of my mind too
I am in peace
In peace that Jesus gave - cannot be described by words
Lord you made my journey safe
And took me to Your destined place
