Steve Burks: Music
All That Waits For Me
(Steve Burks)
October 30, 2019
Produced, written, composed, arranged and performed by Steve Burks
This song speaks to hanging in there during the challenging times. It's based on an ocean metaphor. Thanks for listening.
Treading water was too hard
So I'm floating to rest my heart
As I float I see the shore
It's not so distant anymore
I can see
All that waits for me
In the warm and tan sand
So I swim toward land
While the sea
Still envelops me
Against the current I fight
Destination in sight
In this ocean for so long
Muscles weak but my heart is strong
Made it to this break of dawn
The dim horizon cheers me on
I can see
All that waits for me
In the warm and tan sand
So I swim toward land
While the sea
Still envelops me
Against the current I fight
Destination in sight
High above a seagull glides
With her wings out to her sides
She trusts the current of the Wind cuz she knows
The Wind will carry her where she needs to go
She's a message just for me
Yield to guidance from the Sea
I can see
All that waits for me
In the warm and tan sand
So I swim toward land
While the sea
Still envelops me
Carrying me to my rest
The current knows best
