Turning of the Tide

I've been trying to embed this song on here but having some challenges with it. So I'll just post the lyrics. (If you really want to hear a snippet, go here and click on Turning of the Tide on the left.)

I wrote this 13 years ago and it is so appropriate right now!

I have walked this road alone, I have walked this road with you
When we walk in harmony, there's nothing we can't do!
I have heard the baby cry, I have felt the love inside,
I have seen the magic rise with the turning of the tide

(chorus):
Working to plant the seeds of change,
Singing for all the hope inside,
Loving each other on the way to the turning of the tide

We have asked the hardest questions,
There's so much we want to know
We have learned the finest lesson in the act of letting go
We have played and laughed together,
We have worked hard side by side
We are blessed with simple pleasures
And the turning of the tide (chorus)

We have seen our parents aging,
We have watched our children grow
The cycles are in constant changing, we reap and then we sow
We have planted many gardens,
Scattered seeds both far and wide
Trusting in the soil and sun and the turning of the tide (chorus)

We have sung our songs together,
We have sung our songs alone
It is when we join in chorus we find our way back home
We have sailed the widest ocean, journeyed to the other side
Now it's time to trim our sails for the turning of the tide

Working to plant the seeds of change,
Singing for all the hope inside,
Loving each other on the way to the turning of the tide
