Riding the tide

Look at all the happy people
standing by their door
look at all the happy people
never wanting more
than what fills the river
flowing from their hearts
than what fills the river
of which they are part

    Riding the tide
    like any bride
    no fear, no use in feeling bad
    'bout losing things we never had
    riding the tide (2x)

Look at all the ships at anchor
rocking in the wind
look at all the ships at anchor
taking every hint
from the breeze that carries them
in its frantic moods
from the breeze that carries them
past the book of rules

    refr. 

Look at all the happy people
standing by their doors
look at all the happy people
never wanting more
than what fills the river
flowing past their doors
than what fills the river
from which they come forth
