A wave will roll and roll again
It does not wait for love or men.

It is as it is, wild and free,
Untameable just like you and me.

A wave is strong and true and real,
It cannot stop, it can't but feel.

We too are strong and true and real,
We cannot stop, we can't but feel.

Though oft weighed down with the heft of life
We will roll on, defeat our strife.

Again and again we must feel our pain,
Live our lives, feel insane

Like the wave, we make our own way
In our chosen direction, it's all okay

You see there's no wrong or right,
Black or white, good or *****

It is what it is, like it or not,
It's not who you know or what you've got

It's all about you and the wave in your soul
Who knows where it's going, who tries to cajole;

Your practical, logical, stoic old mind
Laps at its ankles, dares it to find;

It's reason, its purpose, it's meaning on earth
Your life's own truth from the moment of birth

It's in you, it is you, believe it or not,
Jump into to the wave, live what you've got.

It will not be perfect or easy, that's true,
But it is what you make it, it's all down to you

So stop sitting and wondering, with your feet the sand,
Stand up, step forward, reach out your hand

Grab hold of that wave and follow it's course,
At the end what you'll find, without any force;

Is your truth, your wisdom, your beauty, just you
Start swimming your soul, your wonder is true.
