Sailing With Russell

(album: Smell The Color 9 - 2000)

Standing on the edge of the dock
With the wind in our faces
Been watching the waves roll in
And it feels like we're sailing
Now Russell chimes in with his youthful imagination
"What if we saw him there
Walking out on the water?"
No time for splashing around in shallow theology
He just invited us out into the deep simplicity

And I'm sailing with Russell
Chasing that heartbeat
Playing on sunshine
Laughing with heaven
When I'm sailing with Russell
It's like I'm walking on the water
And floating in the freedom
And thanking the Savior

Now a couple of years have gone by
Filled with some crazy days
Been sailing our separate ways
Across the blue ocean
But the Good Wind brought us around
And time made us older
But not on the inside
We're still talking 'bout sailing
Catching the wind from the good times
Filling our sails with the memories
Feeling the tide carry us back out to the deep simplicity

And I'm sailing with Russell
Chasing that heartbeat
Playing on sunshine
Laughing with heaven
When I'm sailing with Russell
It's like I'm walking on the water
And floating in the freedom
And thanking the Savior
