I've heard so many people say
That the world's gone wrong
Has sadness finally made It's way
When we sing sad song's
Darkness moving in again
A flame still burns
Misery's my only friend
Another lesson learned
To me
In the sea of life
Where we live
I thought I heard a woman say
I hear a child crying
The precious gift of everlasting life
Before her very eyes
So many people throw it away
Or waste their dreams
Or spend their lives making promises
They will never keep
In the sea of life
Does the salt burn your eyes
In the sea of life
As you try to find the sky
In the sea of life
It's always sink or swim
In the sea of life
Can you feel the change begin
Remember when you used to smile
And you didn't have a care
The sky was blue the sun was bright
Birds were singing everywhere
But the leaves change color falling down
There's nothing you can do
But when destiny takes you by the hand
You gotta follow through.
In the sea of life
Does the salt burn your eyes
In the sea of life
As you try to find the sky
In the sea of life
It's always sink or swim
In the sea of life
Can you feel the change begin
