[Intro]
\nBegin (the waves roll in)
\nAbout (to roll back out)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nGeneral relativity
\nNever ceases to amaze me
\nGradients pullin’ more than the far side
\nWatching the rising and falling tide<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nBegin (the waves roll in)
\nAbout (to roll back out)
\nThe waves roll in (again)
\nThe waves roll out (no doubt)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThe sea is calling
\n(Rising and falling)
\nIt’s rising high
\n(Toward the sky)
\nThen, you know
\n(Falling low)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nAh, the inertial force
\nOf course
\nBarycenter front and center
\nGoing to divulge her bulge
\nHigh and low… here we go<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nBegin (the waves roll in)
\nAbout (to roll back out)
\nThe waves roll in (again)
\nThe waves roll out (no doubt)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThe sea is calling
\n(Rising and falling)
\n[Instrumental, Organ Solo]
\nIt’s rising high
\n(Toward the sky)
\nThen, you know
\n(Falling low)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nBegin (the waves roll in)
\nAbout (to roll back out)
\nThe waves roll in (again)
\nThe waves roll out (no doubt)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThe sea is calling
\n(Rising and falling)<\/p>\n

A SCIENCE NOTE<\/p>\n

Tides on Earth are the result of gravitational interactions between the Earth, the Moon, the Sun<\/strong>, and the warping of spacetime<\/strong>. Here’s a breakdown of how each plays a role:<\/p>\n
