My Board

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
