Got to face a changing planet Weather, land, ocean and air Population out of balance Wages world warfare Can we fix it with our love Can we rise above Got to face myself Can I manage Ride those emotional waves Will I just let it happen The crush of hours, the crash of days Can I learn with my love Can I rise above The rising tide, the rising tide Face to face with my lover Finding recognition there We take comfort in one another Take time, take care Can we live on out love Can we rise above The rising tide, the rising tide
