V1
|
I met an old man down by the sea,
|
He said everything around you is within your reach,
|
Oh but you’ve gotta watch, don’t turn your back on the sun,
|
Cause when those blue skies turn black, boy you’d better run
|
Just like life, those hurricanes come
|
They’ll send you flying, back to where you came from….
|
Chorus
|
That’s just the way the wind blows, that’s the way the story goes,
|
Up and down we all coast, in and out with the tide
|
That’s just the way the wind blows, take your chances and find,
|
That nobody really knows, That’s just the way the wind blows….
|
|
V2
|
I thought about what the old man had said,
|
I considered his wisdom and where he had been,
|
I asked him how he’d made it this far
|
He smiled and said I was once where you are
|
Oh but just like life, the wind spun me around,
|
And son I’ve lost more, than I’ve ever found….
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Bridge
|
He said life’s never easy, there’s gonna be rain,
|
You’ve got to be ready to weather the change,
|
Don’t find yourself adrift in the breeze,
|
Son, never forget to anchor your dreams…
|
|
V3
|
I met an old man down by the sea,
|
He spoke about God and love and inner peace,
|
He said, first know yourself, start by looking within,
|
And don’t ever regret, cause life was meant to be lived…
|
Oh But just like the wind, life’s so hard to explain,
|
You just do what you can, and let the rest change…
|
|
