As the water comes up
From an open sea
I can feel the world wash away from me
Like a hungry gull
With a restless eye
I can picture myself in a cloudless sky
Something's come under me
lift my wings into the breeze
I'm flying and floating
Feeling free
The water rushes up
And splashes at my feet
I can feel the world that I was meant to greet
I can't see the distance
Of the changing tide
But I know that there's a life on the other side

Nice write! The warm, easy feel helps me thaw out from a long winter.
The rhumba feel gives it a nice nautical feel. Tasteful strings, too.
