Oh, the tidal wave is crashing, comes washing in Don't be afraid when nothing lasts for long Hopes and dreams have turned to dust And you're lost again, stranded still while time is passing on When there's nothing else left to break We still have a song to sing, we'll sing When there's no more fear, no more ache Standing by the crystal sea on golden streets We'll sing Oh, oh, oh, by the crystal sea Oh, oh, oh, on the golden streets Oh, oh, oh, by the crystal sea Oh, oh, oh For now we're standing on the fault line Hold steady, dear, as continents collide beneath our feet When cares assail, when fears assault I'm still ready here to join the melody of souls set free Flood waters rise even to your soul But above the skies are streets of gold
