lyrics

The waves lap at the shore
The days pass and the shore
Is neglected by night
While the waves reflect the moonlight

I've been the shore
I've been the shore before
I want to be the waves
I feel the allure

The shore bears a heavy load
Beaten and battered 'til it finally erodes
But the waves can recede, or approach at will
Ripple gently, then be still

I've decided…to be the waves, and not the shore
Like Poseidon…I'll be out in the waves, not washed up on shore
Static and stepped on, losing more ground every year
Or rising and rolling…perfectly clear…
I've decided…to be the waves, and not the shore
Like Poseidon, I side with the waves
I've been the shore. I've been the shore before.
I want to be the waves, and not the shore
