LyricsSURFIN' THE UNCERTAINTYwords & music by Pete Papageorge V1: The sun's too hot, the winds too strong And I've been tossed around too long There's trouble in the promised land How much more can one person stand? In this time of isolation When hope is spent in dreams While I'm Ch: SURFIN' THE UNCERTAINTY I'm just trying to survive I'm just glad to be alive SURFIN' THE UNCERTAINTY Not an easy thing to do V2: Got to find the way to stand upright Through these stress-filled days, And restless nights Tomorrow's just a distant blur Where's the way back to the way we were? Now that every law's been broken In this life under the gun All that's wrong is left unspoken As if nothing's to be done While I'm Ch: SURFIN' THE UNCERTAINTY I'm just trying to survive I'm just glad to be alive SURFIN' THE UNCERTAINTY Not an easy thing to do I just hope I make it through I'm no victim circumstancer I'm a make-or-break it chancer Givin' everything I've got in me SURFIN' THE UNCERTAINTY SURFIN' THE UNCERTAINTY Bridge: I've got to keep my head, keep control I can't allow myself to coast Livin' through this dark age of the soul Where are you, my holy ghost? Where are you, my holy ghost? While I'm Ch: SURFIN' THE UNCERTAINTY I'm just trying to survive I'm just glad to be alive SURFIN' THE UNCERTAINTY Not an easy thing to do I just hope I make it through I'll keep lookin' for an answer An existential fancy dancer Cause everything depends on me SURFIN' THE UNCERTAINTY SURFIN' THE UNCERTAINTY ©2021 Once in a Lifetime Music (BMI) CONTACT INFO: Pete Papageorge www.petepapageorge.com 301-758-5225 (c) |

| Story Behind the Song: I read an article about Alan Alda. He was asked about his outlook for the future and he replied, "I'm just surfin' the uncertainty." I thought it was a brilliant phrase, and it inspired me to write this song. |
