A quiet closing song that treats change as a rhythm to move with rather than a force to defeat. Written for the original 52lyrics catalog, this track belongs to The Midnight Echo's connected late-night songbook.
The tide rearranges what we wrote in sand
Takes every castle with an even hand
I used to build higher and guard every wall
Now I leave a doorway and listen to it fall
Let it come in waves, let it leave that way
Nothing has to hold its shape forever and a day
I can lose the shoreline and still know where I stand
Let it come in waves, let it open up my hands
The moon does not command the sea to stay
It offers light and lets it move away
One breath returning, one carried away
I meet the changing water and call it a day
