As the tide changes....my spirit travels to your side

As the sun dips low

and the tide changes stride

and the tears want to flow

as I look inside.

And the pain from your heart

seeps into your skin

and the winds soft breeze

hurts without and within.

And you want to feel someone

who will wipe your tears away

and if they will come 

then you want them to stay.

Just hold me tonight

let me cry, let me weep

and protect me and shield me

as I start counting sheep.

I'm so tired and so weak

for too long I am strong

hold me up, have my back

I"m not asking for too long.

So as the tide changes course

close your eyes my dear friend

and you will feel me close by

I will hold to your hand.

The distance means nothing

for spirits can fly

just accept it is so

there's no need to question why.

For God in his power

in his grace he made it so

so my soul and heart can travel

and to you I will go.

And I will hold you while you cry

I will hold you while you weep

and I will be your body guard

while in peace you will sleep.

So be still in the dark

in your spirit please conceive

that my presence will be with you

if in your heart you believe.
