I was just listening to Present Tense randomly today and my God is that an intense song lyrically. Its nothing to profound but an obvious overlooked truth.
Especially when the wave breaks...and goes into
"you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets.....
"or you can come to terms & realize you are the only one who can't forgive yourself..."
what a powerful life song. thanks Ed....
its really helped me

    the line that always gets me is the opening one - about adapting and changing with the situation...

    "do you see the way that tree bends?
    does it inspire?
    leaning out to catch the suns rays,
    a lesson to be applied"
