G                                      C
Build me a boat that will carry me over,
D                                 C                 G
Far from the trials of mortar and pen,
                                    C
Shelter my spirit from life’s tribulations, 
D                                       C              G
Bathe me in stillness and joy once again.

CHORUS 
D                                    C                 Em
Carry me over these uncharted waters,
  D                                           C                     G
Away from the troubles of heart and of mind.
D                                    C                       Em
Lead me on gently to that peaceful haven,
D                                                 C               G
Where all of my burdens are left far behind.

Set free the anger that adds to my torment,
Comfort this body that weathered the storms.
Cure my afflictions, and cast out the demons,
Immerse me in waters, that leave me reborn.

CHORUS

Grant me a blessing to lighten the journey, 
Bid me farewell as I travel back home.
Join in the dance; there will be celebrating.
Sing me a song, and I won’t walk alone.

CHORUS (TWICE) 

CODA
D                                     C               G
All of my burdens are left far behind.
