Tides

I have a bit of a problem with finding my words With finding my thoughts, finding my hurts, finding my wants One day I'll walk like a soldier, another day a lamb One day stomping on boulders, 'nother day fallin' through sand I want nothing more than to pick a side instead of bouncing against walls I want nothing more than to pick a side instead of being stuck in the middle Don't want to be like the tides One moment in, next moment out Don't want to be like the tides One moment sure, next moment in doubt I have a bit of a problem with keeping out fog With keeping out noise, with keeping prolonged, with keeping my poise One day I'll walk as sure as the wind blows And everyday steady as a drum, lighting up the shadows, living overcome I want nothing more than to pick a side instead of bouncing against walls I want nothing more than to pick a side instead of being stuck in the middle Don't want to be like the tides One moment in, next moment out Don't want to be like the tides One moment sure, next moment in doubt So Lord, be amid the push and pulls of my mind Still every waver, make it sure Allow me to know your will and be aligned Because when I'm overwhelmed you're the only cure I want nothing more than to pick a side instead of bouncing against walls I want nothing more than to pick a side instead of being stuck in the middle Don't want to be like the tides One moment in, next moment out Don't want to be like the tides One moment sure, next moment in doubt
