Lyrics

A rising tide doesn’t raise all boats
Only those that are able to float
The ones with the holes stay scattered ashore
And wait for the waves to take away their boards

Getting ahead isn’t even a thought
When the treading of death keeps getting harder
And you’re doing everything you can
To keep your head above the water

The dream is what keeps us afloat
When the bottom drops out of our boat
The waters are rising higher and higher
And my arms and legs have grown tired

Atlantis sank into the ocean
In a “single day and night of misfortune.”
America stands at the edge of the sea
Searching the waves for signs of steam

If you launch too many ships
Towards other people’s shores
You can wash the blood from your hands
But that will not win the war

Golden City of the Sun
Faced with the wrath of Poseidon
If America is the new Atlantis
It’s because everyone deserves a second chance

The land takes care of her children
You just gotta get out there and start swimming
If America is the new Atlantis
It’s because everyone deserves a second chance
