Sea Change
Embrace Change: Defiance in the Face of Rising Tides
Lyrics
I stand up when you wanted
I resist when you intended to bring me down
To take me down
I stand up against efforts to undermine me
I stand up when you wanted
I defy when you aimed to take me down
To take me down
I resist when you intended to bring me down (repeated)
So you run, you run
You are fleeing, repeatedly
You run, you run, you run
You are actively avoiding and escaping
Seek the higher ground
Seeking a higher moral or ethical position
As waves crash around
Facing challenges while external pressures intensify
Now you're running
Now you are escaping
From the sea change
Escaping from a significant transformation or upheaval
Now you're running
Now you are escaping (repeated)
From the sea change
Escaping from a significant transformation or upheaval (repeated)
I set sail, cross the oceans
I embark on a journey, facing challenges
Against the tide
Against the prevailing trends or norms
(Doesn't matter what the haters say)
(Ignoring negative opinions)
Stand tall when you'd
Stand tall when you would prefer me to fail
Rather that I'd capsized
Choosing resilience over sinking
(Change is coming)
(Change is inevitable)
(And your judgement day)
(Referring to a significant moment of judgment)
So you run, you run
You are fleeing, repeatedly
You run, you run, you run
You are actively avoiding and escaping
Hide behind the lies
Hiding behind falsehoods
As sea levels rise
As the consequences of actions intensify
Now you're running
Now you are escaping
From the sea change
Escaping from a significant transformation or upheaval
Now you're running
Now you are escaping (repeated)
From the sea change
Escaping from a significant transformation or upheaval (repeated)
Tell me how much longer
Questioning how much longer
Are you gonna stand
Will you endure and observe
And watch our cities drown
The submergence of our cities
Well I'll storm the towers
Expressing determination to challenge authority
Shipwreck the powers
Intending to disrupt established powers
Take to the streets while I still can
Taking a stand before losing the opportunity
Now you're running
Now you are escaping
From the sea change
Escaping from a significant transformation or upheaval
Now you're running
Now you are escaping (repeated)
From the sea change
Escaping from a significant transformation or upheaval (repeated)
