Lyrics
You say I waste my time
But this heart here is mine
And to follow it should never be a crime
I go discovering
And I am moved to sing
There’s so much this world is offering
The scent of summer in the air
I’m the girl that takes the dare
To dive into life’s sweet ocean
With egrets flying overhead
The worry like skin will shed
And you’ll find me where the laughter is, and where faith lives
This thirst won’t be denied
Love is still my guide
And in the good I will abide
And at each day’s end
It’s gratitude I send
And I can’t wait to do it all again
The scent of summer in the air
I’m the girl that takes the dare
To dive into life’s sweet ocean
With egrets flying overhead
The worry like skin will shed
And you’ll find me where the laughter is, and where faith lives
The scent of summer in the air
I’m the girl that takes the dare
To dive into life’s sweet ocean
With egrets flying overhead
The worry like skin will shed
And you’ll find me walking toward the shore, headed out for more
