Toes in Sand - ORIGINAL SONG

THE ANCHOR ANTHEM

[Verse 1]

One time with toes in sand

Staring out into the sea

I felt if I swam out far and fast

How peaceful that would be

[Verse 2]

Touch the horizon

Before sirens rose in me

I felt if I swam out far and fast

I’d drift away gently

[Pre-Chorus]

Yes, if I swam out far and fast

How peaceful that would be

[Chorus]

Maybe there was an angel

Who kept me from danger

While the waves kissed my feet

‘Cause I stayed with the shoreline

Waited for the turn of the tide

And the shore stayed with me

Yes, I kept my toes in the sand,

And I believed

How peaceful that would be

[Verse 3]

I didn’t move, the moment did

I dug my heels in the sand

The tide rolled in, the tide rolled out

Reminding me to stand

[Verse 4]

Morning came like it always did

Same shore, different me

A whisper floated on the waves,

“Look how peaceful this could be”

[Pre-Chorus]

Yes, a whisper floated on the waves,

“Look how peaceful this could be”

[Final Chorus]

Maybe I was the angel

Who kept me from danger

While the waves kissed my feet

Because I stayed with the shoreline

Waited for the turn of the tide

And the shore stayed with me

Yes, I kept my toes in the sand,

And I believed

How peaceful that would be
