Song lyrics, Toby Keith (1993)
“You're trying to make sense
of something that you just don't see”

"This Is The Sea"
This Is the Sea (1985)
Context: You're trying to make sense
of something that you just don't see
You're trying to make sense now
and you know you once held the key
But that was the river
this is the sea.
