sunrays touch the coastline
warm the cotton, show the dust
the long nights are gone with the river
the water’s been waiting long enough

we float on the river of time
hold steady, hold steady
the sea comes ’cause the summer forced out the cold
the boat fought the change of the tides
hold steady, hold steady
storm for hours, and rainy days

and all our lives we’re told
the stream will take us home

sunrays touch the coastline
warm our feet, show the glare
we walk through the sand in the warm night
the water will take the weight from us

and all our lives we’re told
the stream will take us home
and all our lives we’re told
the stream will take us home

we sell our lives to the sea
the sky lights up from the beach
