(Ode To A Waterperson)
All my life I have lived for the ocean
Crystal blue water in pure fluid motion
To play in the sea with the dolphins and fish
Since I was young has been my wish
People who don’t surf don’t understand
Being in the water beats the shit out of being on land
I have always wished to breathe under water
Away from the land, the carnage, the slaughter
Don’t people know all life comes from the sea
Just look at surfers like you and me
We are the chosen race
Surfing along on a screaming blue face
I will surf till I die, till my last breathe of air
Make sure my last wave I will surf with flair
So if I’m to die on land or at sea
In the ocean I choose the rest for me
With money or without I don’t really care
Just to surf waves, have fun, with friend’s I’ll share
To be alone on the ocean is such a great feeling
To surf, to live, to love the ocean it’s appealing
What life means to me!………
