I know when a storm is coming on, and I can tell when tears are gonna fall
And I know what it's like when disappointments seem to make you feel so small
I've become the extra when I wished to be the lead
And I have been the friend when I wished to be the girl
And sometimes all the faith in the world
Can still never change what isn't meant to be

Chorus:
But if I feel like just a teardrop in the rain when I meant to be a river
God sees the ocean in me
And in the depths of all my sorrow and my pain, when I ask to be delivered
He shows the ocean to me
He sees the ocean in me

He sees all the things that I can't see, and He dries every tear that falls down
And sooner or later He opens my eyes
And finally I turn around
And find that as a servant I had really been a queen
And I had been a diamond when I thought that I was glass
And I know every heartbreak will pass
Just when it seems the hardest to believe

Cause if I feel like just a teardrop in the rain when I meant to be a river
God sees the ocean in me
And in the depths of all my sorrow and my pain, when I ask to be delivered
He shows the ocean to me
He sees the ocean in me

And I'm an ocean drawn to the light
Reaching for the sky
Pulled by gravity
And after every storm, I take another shape
Landing on a shore far beyond my dreams

And if I feel like just a teardrop in the rain when I meant to be a river
God sees the ocean in me
And in the depths of all my sorrow and my pain, when I ask to be delivered
He shows the ocean to me
He sees the ocean in me
He sees the ocean in me
