Laura Sandage: Listen
There Is A Tide
(Laura Sandage)
THERE IS A TIDE
Laura Sandage 2004
The sea has its secrets
It reaches deep and wide
One small boat can only float
So far against the tide
The power of the current
Can pull you on for days
Familiar sights gone overnight
Among the blues and grays
(chorus)
There is a tide and a time to fight it
A time to swim for the shore
There is a tide and a time to struggle
No more
There is a tide and a time to worry
To hurry against the seafoam
There is a tide and a time to let it
Carry you home
Some seek an island
Safe from every storm
But no hand can touch the sand
That stays forever warm
If you're seeking nothing
And set yourself adrift
The sea might bring you anything
An unexpected gift
chorus
You know your arms get tired
You can't enjoy the view
Lean on back, limbs go slack
The sea will carry you
Float until you get there
Where, you do not know
We're too small to know it all
Caught up in the flow
chorus
