Rising Tide

Take whatever you think you need
Whatever they left
The labor of hunger and greed
No need to brag about your theft

It will follow you down the line
This feeling of shame
It’s been such a long, long time
You’ve been playing that game

Chorus 1:
Keep on running for the rising tide
Is closing in on you
Staying put and always tryin' to hide
Is all you ever knew

The murmurs ran down the lane
In this permanent race
With everyone seeking their gain
The traitor’s embrace

Chorus 1

Bridge:
Just turn your back on dark days
And all the shame and sorrow
Keep searching for those new ways
You’ll get it right tomorrow

Chorus 2:
There you go with the rising tide
Pushing your boat out to the sea
No more standing back and tryin' to hide
You’re afloat and sailing free!
