Wetsuit

Put a wetsuit on
Find your board
Absorb the pressure
Brave the cold
Face the tremor
Rough today
Tomorrow better

Put a t-shirt on
Your favourite one
To guide you through it
Times are tough
Wrap up the bruises
Stay in touch
Don’t cut the music

Grow your hair out long
All the way
The time is now
Find yourself
Wild and proud
Ask for help
Help others out

Isn’t perfect
Never was
Never will be
Always flaws
Comes with struggle
Comes with pain
So that the good times
Have their frame

Growing old
Where’s the fun?
Slow it down,
Retrieve the young,
Feel the tide
Begin to change,
Brighter eyes
Ignite the grey

Darkness falls
But days do too,
Seasons stall,
But then they bloom,
Sea seems cold
But oceans move,
Next breaking wave,
Shall meet your groove
