Rise Like The Tide

[Intro] Salt on my skin Morning on fire Feet in the sand Heart climbing higher (oh yeah) [Verse 1] I carry my mother’s name Tied like a cloth round my waist Laugh lines and little scars All of them kept me safe I walk where the shore runs wild Shells singing under my feet Every small step I take Drums echo under the street [Chorus] I will rise like the tide Coming back every time You can pull You can push Still my spirit will climb I will dance through the storm Hands up Face to the sky If I fall I return I return I return I will rise like the tide (hey!) [Verse 2] I’ve tasted the bitter wind Dust in the back of my throat Still I was laughing loud Holding my dreams like a rope Sister I see your eyes Heavy from carrying years Come let the night wash you Leave all your rusted fears (leave them) [Chorus] We will rise like the tide Coming back every time You can pull You can push Still our spirits will climb We will dance through the storm Hands up Faces to sky If we fall We return We return We return We will rise like the tide [Bridge] Call my name I answer Soft Then strong Then faster Step by step We gather Many hearts One laughter (woah) [Chorus] We will rise like the tide Coming back every time You can pull You can push Still our spirits will climb We will dance through the storm Hands up Faces to sky If we fall We return We return We return We will rise like the tide (oh yeah)
