Have you memorized the ocean wave?
It draws in an out so slowly
To the ocean you are a slave.
Being near the sea is something you crave
You stare into forever dully
Have you memorized the ocean wave?
Under the waters there is a cave
Calling your name so brashly
To the ocean you are a slave.
Something inside you is still brave
But you know you won’t act rashly
Have you memorized the ocean wave?
For the sea you have not yet forgave
It has taken your life wholly
To the ocean you are a slave.
The tides never seem to behave
Never dividing the time fairly
Have you memorized the ocean wave?
To the ocean you are a slave.

To the ocean you are a slave.

Never dividing the time fairly
Have you memorized the ocean wave?
To the ocean you are a slave.
