Story Behind The Song
A friend with a couple kids and a husband who was there for me when things were challenging ended up losing her battle with cancer, and as I was trying to figure out what to say to her and anyone in that situation, another friend suggested that all you can do is wish someone peace, truth and all the courage and strength they need. Thanks Mishelle and Zoe.

Lyrics
Wash Over You
copyright 2004 by Steve Mason
I wish you Peace and Truth and all the strength you need
As we near the holidays
I?ve dreamt of hope and love, where the land meets the sea
Washing over you like a wave
I want to give you one gift on this holiday
One gift throughout our lives
I've sent these thoughts across the universe
To guide your pathway and share this dream? tonight
Wash over you like a wave
That cleans hidden beaches feel it rinse away your pain
Wash over you like a gentle wave
That leaves you in the sand with love so pure
Until you need to dream the waves again
I wish you Peace and Truth? all the courage that you need
Precious little of our year remains
I?ve dreamt of hope and love where the clouds go to seed
Pouring over you like the rain
I get caught sometimes feeling helpless
Always tryin' to say the right thing
But it's a time for bein' selfless
To share a smile or a tear, or a reason to sing
Wash over you like the rain
Let the clouds gather quickly feel it rinse away your pain
Wash over you like the sweetest rain
That leaves you in the sand with love so pure, until you need to dream the rain again
