V1
I met an old man down by the sea,
He said everything around you is within your reach,
Oh but youve gotta watch, dont turn your back on the sun,
Cause when those blue skies turn black, boy youd better run
Just like life, those hurricanes come
Theyll send you flying, back to where you came from.
Chorus
Thats just the way the wind blows, thats the way the story goes,
Up and down we all coast, in and out with the tide
Thats just the way the wind blows, take your chances and find,
That nobody really knows, Thats just the way the wind blows.
V2
I thought about what the old man had said,
I considered his wisdom and where he had been,
I asked him how hed made it this far
He smiled and said I was once where you are
Oh but just like life, the wind spun me around,
And son Ive lost more, than Ive ever found.
Chorus
Bridge
He said lifes never easy, theres gonna be rain,
Youve got to be ready to weather the change,
Dont find yourself adrift in the breeze,
Son, never forget to anchor your dreams
V3
I met an old man down by the sea,
He spoke about God and love and inner peace,
He said, first know yourself, start by looking within,
And dont ever regret, cause life was meant to be lived
Oh But just like the wind, lifes so hard to explain,
You just do what you can, and let the rest change
Chorus
