LIFE IS A WAVE Lyrics

I opened my eyes and I woke up

For once I could finally focus

Depression was rippin' me open

It got me to thinkin' there's more life worth livin' than

Lying in bed all day

Trying to find a way

Deciding which path to take

I'm of little faith

She took me down to the beach

Took me down to the Sea

Plunged my head in the water and she baptised me

Told me everybody ain't as bad inside as they seem

You gotta have more faith in humanity

It's a beautiful morning

The heat is pouring through the window of the car we've been sitting in

Talking since 6am

She reaches down on a beach of stones

Picks one up

And hands it to me and says

This stone had eroded away

It used to be as big as a boulder

It's been in the water for days

Sometimes a little hot

Sometimes a little colder

It has been beaten and bruised

And travelled across the ocean

The current has rendered it smooth

And by luck it has been chosen

Praise the people

I feel ya

I can't do it on my own

Cause I need ya

Praise the people

I feel ya

I can't do it on my own

Cause I need ya

I need ya

I need ya

I need ya

I need ya

I need ya

I need ya

I need ya

I need you

They say you only live once

But I think they got it backwards

I'ma live everyday till they put me in a casket

All the way from downtown and he's still making baskets

My time is gonna come

But I think I can outlast it

I think that I could capture it

Encapuse it

And manufacture renewable energy

To power this empowerment

I'm a leader, so I lead

No-one I think is in my tree

The water makes me feel at peace

Stevie Wonder makes me wonder why there's music in my mind

While I'm chillin at the villa

With a Big Mac and a Miller

Tears rolling down my cheek

Listening to Mac Miller

I'm M.J with the earing

I'm M.J with the Thriller

Life is just a wave and I will ride it till I die

And I remember when this gift was just a glimmer in our eye

Drowning in the dark but then I came up feeling dry

Time is like a river

And this river's running wild

Praise the people

I feel ya

I can't do it on my own

Cause I need ya

Praise the people

Na na na na na

I can't do it on my own

Cause I need ya

I need ya

I need ya

I need ya

I need ya

I need ya

I need ya

I need ya

I need ya

I can do it

I can do anything

I can do anything I put my mind to
