Tides of Wonder
Lyrics
Intro
Salt on the wind
Blue in my eyes
Gate clicks open
And the daylight flies
Verse 1
Map in my hand
Feet on the shine of stone
Laughs in the air
I’m already not alone
You pull me forward
Past the turning tide
Silver shapes rising
From the water’s wide (oh yeah)
Chorus
Tides of wonder, carry me
Where the waves and the wild run free
Every splash a memory
Calling out my name
Tides of wonder, side by side
Hands up high on this ocean ride
Heartbeats racing with the sky
I’ll never be the same
Verse 2
Spray on my face
As the giants roll and play
White arcs of foam
Chasing all my doubts away
You point and shout
At the leap and glide
Tiny boats spinning
On a painted tide
Chorus
Tides of wonder, carry me
Where the waves and the wild run free
Every splash a memory
Calling out my name
Tides of wonder, side by side
Hands up high on this ocean ride
Heartbeats racing with the sky
I’ll never be the same
Bridge
One deep breath
All the world goes bright
Every color in the water
Every hope in the light
If I could stay
In this shining sea
I’d keep this day
Living on in me (hey!)
Chorus
Tides of wonder, carry me
Where the waves and the wild run free
Every splash a memory
Calling out my name
Tides of wonder, side by side
Hands up high on this ocean ride
Heartbeats racing with the sky
I’ll never be the same
Outro
Salt on the wind
Blue in my eyes
Leaving, but the ocean
Stays in my life
Intro
[cheerful brass fanfare, crowd claps in time]
Verse 1
Sun hats, bright flags
Kids on their parents’ shoulders
Bubble trails float
Over cool stone boulders
You nudge my arm
“Look, the dancers come!”
Sea-blue sequins
Catch the midday sun (hey!)
Chorus
It’s an ocean day parade
Laughing in the shade
Every smile a little wave
Rolling down the lane
Marching bands in turquoise lines
Shells that sparkle, tails that shine
In this ocean day parade
We all feel the same
Verse 2
Drums like a march
But the rhythm skips and sways
Cartwheeling smiles
Spinning through the spray
Paper fish fly
On a silver string
Little voices
Try to shout and sing
Chorus
It’s an ocean day parade
Laughing in the shade
Every smile a little wave
Rolling down the lane
Marching bands in turquoise lines
Shells that sparkle, tails that shine
In this ocean day parade
We all feel the same
Bridge
Step by step, the colors grow
Row on row on row
You tap your feet, you start to sway
Who knew we’d dance this way? (oh yeah)
Chorus
It’s an ocean day parade
Laughing in the shade
Every smile a little wave
Rolling down the lane
Marching bands in turquoise lines
Shells that sparkle, tails that shine
In this ocean day parade
We all feel the same
Outro
One last cheer
Then the trumpets fade
But I still hum
Our ocean day parade
