The Changing of the Tide

Draw a straight line shallowly within the beach sand
The world is on the other side but I have your hand.
Step over it and were both off and running
Take a deep breath the wave is coming

The changing of the tide give it a try for me
The changing of the tide throw your bottle of worries into the sea
The changing of the tide what will it bring to you
The changing of the tide will you keep your point of view
The changing of the tide it gets closer everyday
The changing of the tide let your problems be swept away

You jumped right in but left your print behind
Did the water help to clear your mind
Your soul aches from the long swim
But you must keep going if you want to ever win

The changing of the tide give it a try for me
The changing of the tide throw your bottle of worries into the sea
The changing of the tide what will it bring to you
The changing of the tide will you keep your point of view
The changing of the tide it gets closer everyday
The changing of the tide let your problems be swept away

You made it there in one piece to the other side
There I was waiting for you with my heart open wide
You conquered it all on your own both fear and doubt
You know you had in you all the time but isn’t that what life is all about

The changing of the tide give it a try for me
The changing of the tide throw your bottle of worries into the sea
The changing of the tide what will it bring to you
The changing of the tide will you keep your point of view
The changing of the tide it gets closer everyday
The changing of the tide let your problems be swept away
