beside the ocean Santa Cruz
i face the pathway i must choose
the city lights they seem so bright
my eyes are dazzled by the night

the crashing surf, the ocean air
the cypress bough, the morning glare
can my heart breathe beneath this load
the fog on San Andreas road

my heart, sympathy
broken life surrender me
suggestions
open to your will
blue skies paradise
fragile as a great surprise
does your love move within me still

my hopes and dreams
all washed ashore
they never reached the lighthouse door
abandoned ships
with tattered sails, buried treasure,
and golden tales



Behind the Song:
it's amazing the kind of impact a single decision makes!
