Name: Rising Tide
Duration: P00H03M41S
Description: The phrase ‘a rising tide raises all ships’ had been with me for years. Then one day, in a B&B in Guelph, Ontario, it morphed into a song. Years later, Stephen Fearing suggested I hold the line of the tide ‘raising us all’ until the end. Good call.

The phrase ‘a rising tide raises all ships’ had been with me for years. Then one day, in a B&B in Guelph, Ontario, it morphed into a song. Years later, Stephen Fearing suggested I hold the line of the tide ‘raising us all’ until the end. Good call.

lyrics

A sailor’s gone deep in the fog
Rocky shoals, direction lost
The sun will come, the mist can clear
Will our sailor reappear?
A rising tide, a rising tide

Time to hold on, time to let go
Time to find, the greater flow
Currents swell, old ways fall
Surrender to it all
A rising tide, a rising tide

A quiet storm from deep inside, a rising tide
A rising tide, hmmm

A glint in the eye, a smile in the soul
Can spark the heart, make things whole
Set your course, shine your star
True to who you are
You raise the tide, you raise us all

When this moment’s gone, when the day is done
How will we remember our time?
Who was first or last?
Or the love we shared?
A rising tide, a rising tide

A rising tide, a rising tide, a rising tide
A rising tide, a rising tide
A rising tide, a rising tide, a rising tide
A rising tide, raises us all
