Lyrics

Racing The Tide

I'm so close

I'm almost inside

Won't be long before the mystery is mine

I'm so close

I'm almost inside

But there is times I hung my head and cried

I'm so close

I'm almost inside

I'm so close

Racing the tide

I'm so close

I'm almost inside

A dream unchained that can't escape my mind

I'm so close

I'm almost inside

But there were times there was no end in sight

I'm so close

I'm almost inside

I'm so close

Racing the tide

I'm so close

I'm almost inside

Those big waves we always knew I'd ride

I'm so close

I'm almost inside

I'm so close

Racing the tide

I'm so close

I'm almost inside

I'm so close

Racing the tide

I'm so close

I'm almost inside

I'm so close

Racing the tide
