The Tide

People come, people go
We scratch our names in sand                
It’s a tale we all know
We are stories in the wind                            

When we put ourselves to the test
What do we wish to prove?
That we are not like all the rest?
Or we have more to lose?

When the wind is at our backs
Time is on our side
Youth evades our slipping grasp    
Like waves upon the tide

The flood destroys all we made
So goes the myth we know              
The raging sea washes all awayThe tide forever flows    

So do not worry over broken dreams
We will dream up more
When we all find our sleep
The tide inside restores

When the wind is at our backs
Time is on our side
Youth evades our slipping grasp    
Like waves upon the tide

We must remember we are only here  
Long enough to find our songWhen we sing it high and clear  
Our tide will carry on
