The Rising Tide

The Rising Tide
@Rick Lang

As I look out across the bay, the sun comes up to greet the day
Serenaded by the waves, the tide comes rushing in
The wooden boats in front of me, keep rising higher on the sea
Up out of danger's reach.... to set sail once again

Bridge
As I sit here and pass the time
This old saying comes to mind

Chorus 1
The rising tide it lifts all boats, big or small keep them afloat
High off the floor of the deep blue sea
So pull up anchor, & hoist the sail, take the wheel and be on your way
Wind in your hair, sun in your eyes
Sail off on the rising tide

Look around and you will find some folks are like the rising tide
Those who lift our spirits high when we're feeling low
Spreading kindness here and there, showing others that they care
What they have they're sure to share with those who need it more

Bridge
Young and old heed the call,
Rise up one and all

Chorus 2
The rising tide lifts all boats, big or small keeps them afloat
High off the floor of the deep blue sea
Every man, woman, boy and girl, can make a difference in this world
Standing arm in arm and side by side
Together we can be the rising tide
