Story Behind The Song
I experienced a lot of loss in recent years, some of them sudden and some of them from very old age. It got me thinking about how extreme life can see at times but really it is all a balance.

Lyrics
I woke up today
Feeling my age
Feeling the weight
From so far away
To feeling ok
It comes in waves
Life gives and it takes
One sleeps while one wakes
It's all in the balance of tidal waves
The roars and the calms
The sweat in your palms
As you feel your life get pulled away in waves
I look at my face
The lines are in place
How long will they stay
Hearts beat and they break
It's choice and it's fate
It comes in waves
Life gives and it takes
One sleeps while one wakes
It's all in the balance of tidal waves
The roars and the calms
The sweat in your palms
As you feel your life get pulled away in waves
As life goes hearts follow
As life goes you'll end up full yet somehow hollow
So ride every wave
Each each seasonal phase
It'll all be ok
Life gives and it takes
One sleeps while one wakes
It's all in the balance of tidal waves
The roars and the calms
The sweat in your palms
As you feel your life get pulled away in waves
