On the Crest of a Wave - 3rd Place

On the crest of a wave, I'll ride 
Trying to sail and reach my shore 
The sea maybe deep and wide 
But I'll give my all for what lays in store 

I'll challenge the might of the storm 
To sail my boat to its destination 
I'll dare its every shape and form 
I'll sail my boat without hesitation 

The tide maybe harsh and high 
But on its shoulder, I'll see further 
I'd even dare if I could fly 
I'll sail my boat even harder 

Every drop of rain that keeps the wave billowing 
Is a water on my face that hides my tears 
Every blow of wind that keeps the tide flowing 
Is a blow on my face that tames my fears
