I was walking on a straight line
Sunshine on my face, I felt fine
Thought I had it all figured out
But life has a way, there's no doubt
Then the road took a curve
And my hands shook with every swerve
Didn't see it coming, didn't hear a sound
Sometimes the world just turns you around
When life turns, when the tides change
When you're lost in the wind and the pouring rain
Hold on tight, don't close your eyes
Ride the waves, even when they're high
When life turns, when it breaks
You'll find strength in the cracks that ache
Hold on tight, keep the fire that burns
We all grow a little more when life turns
I found myself in the darkest night
Searching for a spark, for any light
Couldn't tell the sky from the ground
Lost in a world that spun me around
But somewhere deep down I knew
This storm would shape me, see me through
Learned to dance in the fear and doubt
Found strength in places I never thought about
When life turns, when the tides change
When you're lost in the wind and the pouring rain
Hold on tight, don't close your eyes
Ride the waves, even when they're high
When life turns, when it breaks
You'll find strength in the cracks that ache
Hold on tight, keep the fire that burns
We all grow a little more when life turns
And every scar's a part of me
A map of all I couldn't see
The twists and the falls that brought me here
Built me strong through every tear
When life turns, when the tides change
When you're lost in the wind and the pouring rain
Hold on tight, don't close your eyes
Ride the waves, even when they're high
When life turns, when it breaks
You'll find strength in the cracks that ache
Hold on tight, keep the fire that burns
We all grow a little more when life turns
So here I am, and here I'll stand
Learning to live with a new plan
Life turns, and it bends and sways
But I'm stronger now, come what may
