The sea went out. I missed the tide.
I'm stranded, abandoned, left on shore.
My dreams, ambitions all denied.
The sea went out I missed the tide.
Like flotsam, jetsam cast aside;
My hopes are dashed, I'm feeling sore.
The sea went out. I missed the tide.
Stranded, abandoned, left on shore.

The tide goes out but will come in
The waves will touch my feet again.
I'll feel them splash against my skin.
The tide goes out but will come in.
Chance will return though odds seem slim.
I'll be prepared; be ready then.
The tide goes out but will come in.
The waves will touch my feet again.
