Standing on the Shores of Tomorrow
The winding path to get here was difficult and steep.
I struggled ev’ry step of the way.
All I had to guide me was the promise that I’d keep
To make it to the end of this day.
And now I’m standing on the shores of tomorrow,
Opportunities are lapping at my feet.
All my hopes and dreams glisten on the surface of the water
In the deep blue ocean of possibility.
I told my weary soul that there wasn’t far to go.
My sweet reward was only steps away.
This journey took its toll but in my heart I’ve known
I would make it to the end of this day.
And now I’m standing on the shores of tomorrow,
Opportunities are lapping at my feet.
All my hopes and dreams glisten on the surface of the water
In the deep blue ocean of possibility.
I have climbed the mountains, crossed the raging rivers,
Never doubting that I would survive.
I knew I’d find redemption and this body I’d deliver
To the blessed sands that here abide.
And now I’m standing on the shores of tomorrow,
Opportunities are lapping at my feet.
All my hopes and dreams glisten on the surface of the water
In the deep blue ocean of possibility.
