I was a stowaway in name, by my design
Already paid my way to shuttle me from prying eyes
Safely tucked away, and fast asleep below
Now I hear the winds that will surely come and break the bow, so
Cast your lots tonight and let them fall out free
I'm looking for a harbor that will shelter me
And if you knew exactly what I'm doing here,
You'd throw me right into the sea
It is on my account these things have come to pass
The tempest draweth near and surely we will never last
I greatly fear the Lord and Him who brings me low
It is because of me that you are forced to reconcile, so
Cast your lots tonight and let them fall them out free
I'm looking for a harbor that will shelter me
And if you knew exactly what I'm doing here,
You'd throw me right into the sea
