Waves Lyrics

Wake up my boys and heed the waves

I'm sick of all this sleepin'

For too many years we've rocked and rolled

And kept the wisest waitin'

We'll conquer our fears

Shed our last tears

If at last we do awaken

For now we may drown

But before we go down

Pray our lives aren't mistaken

Waves of the sea

Will I bruise will I bleed

When they all come crashing down

Old fertile ground

All the loves that I've found

Are haunting me

Take all of my pictures

Put them deep underground

And don't speak of memories of me

They're best found without a sound

If I could be free

Oh the man I would be

But the storm keeps coming round

Through hardship is found

The roots and the crown

The ocean and the key

Wake up my boys and heed the waves

I'm sick of all this sleepin'

For too many years we've rocked and rolled

And kept t he wisest waitin'

We'll conquer our fears

Shed our last tears

If at last we do awaken

For now we may drown

But before we go down

Pray our lives aren't mistaken
