WALK AGAINST THE TIDE

My son and I went walking

Just a few feet from the shore

and the waves that knocked him down

just made me hold him more

and then he looked at me and smiled

Oh daddy oh why why why

Now all that I was thinking

Is he’s much too young to know

He needs to be more careful of the undertoe

But then he looked at me and smiled

Oh daddy oh Why Why Why

You told me

Wishing wells lie still

until we throw our hopes inside

And we’d never see a shooting star

till we went outside

Now your’re saying daddy

dont leave my side

I say daddy why

why cant we walk against the tide

Well go ahead son

interlude

I go thinking about that afternoon

Fighting against the waves

and how my son and I are different

in so many ways

and how that boy he asked me why

Oh daddy oh Why why why

You said

Wishing wells lie still

until we throw our hope inside

And we’d never see a shooting star

until we went outside

Now you’re saying daddy

don’t to take the ride

He said. Daddy,

why can’t we walk against the tide

Aw, you should have walked against the tide

You can still do it dad
