Life's like an ocean, we're all just floatingLike waves heading to some far off landWe all want to ride high, closer to a blue skyBut some crash before they get the chance

So I'm gonna roll, while I still canSo I can say to myself…when I reach the sand

Chorus 1:I did everything I wanted toChased every dream and made it come trueTreated every breath that I was givenLike a precious gift sent from heavenAnd when the water's all behind meI wanna know with everything inside meI couldn't have done any moreI wanna raise my hands up highWhen my wave hits the shore

I felt the rain pour, been through some mean stormsAnd more than once they almost took me downBut while I was falling god must have heard me callingCause he saw fit, keeping me around

So I'm gonna roll, while I still canSo I can say to myself…when I reach the sand

Chorus 2:I did everything I wanted toChased every dream and made it come trueTreated every breath that I was givenLike a precious gift sent from heavenAnd when the water's all behind meI wanna know with everything inside of meI couldn't have done any moreI wanna dance upon the tideWhen my wave hits the shore

Before my days are done, before my race is runBefore my wave hits the shore

Gonna do everything I wanted toChase every dream and make it come trueTreat every breath that I've been givenLike a precious gift sent from heavenAnd when the water's all behind meI wanna know with everything inside meI couldn't have done anymoreI'm gonna raise me hands up highI'm gonna dance upon the tideWhen my wave hits the shore
