The Passing Tide

by Chords of Truth

We arrive as a spark of light
With a story yet to write
We survive through fight or flight
Choices based on wrong or right

We don't get to decide
What will be on the other side
But I want to know I tried
As I move past the passing tide

Life ends like a thief in the night
Whether asleep or in a gunfight
No escaping this birthright
We will be heading toward the light

We don't get to decide
What will be on the other side
But I want to know I tried
As I move past the passing tide

Moments transform into years
Bringing joy and causing tears
Actions speak louder than words
So don't fall for veneers

We move on to the next plight
We live then assess our life
This may excite or fright
But it goes on so we'll be alright

We don't get to decide
What will be on the other side
But I want to know I tried
As I move past the passing tide
