Ride the tide and dip
Go with the flow, don’t quit
Yeah that’s right, yeah that’s it
Waves have bite, ripples got grit
Brace yourself, bite your lip
Keep it steady now, Nall don’t you trip
Feast your eyes on the prize in good and bad times
Don’t be afraid to catch the wave
Make up your mind to ride the tide
(Chorus)
When the fundamental things get tight, that’s the time to get it right
The courage to move your fate
The courage to do it and be great
Don’t let life toss you to and fro
You gotta hold on to what you know
Trial and error, Don’t let it scare yah
Fresh outta that, Now jump right back, Into motion
The world’s you ocean
Got your 22nd wind now do it all again
See that outcome, Right through that drum
Steady forward, don’t you ever run
Ride the tide, Ride the tide, Ride the tide, Ride the tide
Ride the tide, and dip
Ride the tide, don’t quit
(Chorus)
When the fundamental things get tight, that’s the time to get it right
The courage to move your fate
The courage to do it and be great
Don’t let life toss you to and fro
You gotta hold on to what you know
Maitain your frame, drop in again
Those little dings don’t mean a thang
Top to bottom, Now you got em
Don’t bail on the rail, ride that trail
Duck and dive, swing it wide
Bust your stuff and stay alive
Prolong that glide, You’re on cloud 9

Lyrics by Lata’ Bridges and Music by Desmond Oatis November 2011
Extend your reach, It’s all technique
Down the line, the final time
Hold on now, Ride that tide
Ride the tide and dip
Ride the tide don’t quit
(Chorus)
When the fundamental things get tight, that’s the time to get it right
The courage to move your fate
The courage to do it and be great
Don’t let life toss you to and fro
You gotta hold on to what you know
