Breakers on a granite shore, I can take no more of this hard domain
I escape white water flow, the strong undertow to a life of
chains
I’ve been swept to the bottom in a
whirlpool of promises
I stand on the beach and I try to stay dry, water laps at my
feet, and I’m tearful again
Bein’ tender, I’ve known it for so long, and I hope with
this song
You’ll come on and sing along a ‘cause
bein’ tender is oh so strong
Dangling sticks over a cliff, the winds here are stiff on this
rocky slope
City legs, they do lament, alpine ascent, I climb for hope
The higher I get the smaller I feel, fears disappear and the
sun softens my outlook
My head clears, so I let go the rope
Bein’ tender, I’ve known it for so long and I hope with
this song
You’ll come on and sing along a ‘cause
bein’ tender is oh so strong
High above the timberline I rescue my mind from the world’s
embrace
Dust comes in a burst of fire, the flowers retire to the
mountain’s face
Blue dragonflies lull the grasses to sleep, they dream of spring rain
And in soft
summer sighs I tell them my pain and with them I find peace
Bein’ tender, I’ve known it for so long, and I hope with
this song
You’ll come on and sing along a ‘cause
bein’ tender is oh so strong
