Ride
On each high tide
On every crest of wave
To each, goodness attach
Each goodness advocate
No stumbling block
No spoke in the wheels
No dog in the manger be
Ride
The high tide
With every excellence be
Recognize fledgling seeds
That sprout goodness and glow
Ripple effects and mercy and love
Nudge on goodness and let it dominate
Ride
On goodness side
Be source for it to multiply
Permeate pores and wet eyes
Softens hearts and skins ashiver
Ride
On every high tide
High or low
Goodness follow
Nothing short or shallow
