The waters shallow
About knee-deep
But the tide is rising
Hope you're quick on your feet
Some bring in a mess
Others are calm and smooth
But when the water reaches your neck
It's time to move
Don't panic, don't fear
You will not drown
Just trust me dear
You'll be safe and sound
The shore is close
Your hands they tremble
Cause the waters like ice
Freezing the tempo
Your nerves they frost
And your heart starts to swell
You're being taken under
By the rising tide's spell
