As I go and I grab my board, I can hear some waves are breaking on the shore Some how I know, I know where I belong, somehow I know exactly where to go As I walk on the sand the footprints are marking my way I am still on land so troubles are still in my head But once I stand on my board now things won't be the same I'm going to be oceans away inside myself, oceans away And now the rays of the sun are reflecting and making the water glow It's like a dream that I'm living the ocean is making me grow And though my life is in danger I'm carrying a smile on my face I see the set coming in as I paddle to be in the right place Oceans away We live and then we die And in between we don't ask why We've been taken for granted for too long As I go and grab my board, I can feel the ocean is calling for my soul Cause in life you've got to be strong and move along Just like the ocean washes the shore Between the sun and the sea I'm learning about respect Respect the elders, respect life itself And now I know that the truth is right in front of our eyes But we are too busy, we've got too needy we stayed behind, oceans away We live and then we die, and in between we don't ask why We've been taken for granted for too long...
