BEFORE THE WAVE
lyrics by Kevin Grant
We run our skins up the mast today,
Set the bones in the water and sail away.
But a prayer repeated won't carry us over
this heavy stretch of water.
We lie still as the shore slides, silent,
Dripping red and blue and violet.
To think inaction could get this violent:
Sleeping on the ocean.
Before the wave.
Success assured as the anchor lifted,
The endless drift is out destination.
The young and handsome, wise and gifted:
Eaten by the waters, by the ocean.
Before the wave.
Like your father went before you,
Daughter, this will happen to you.
Hold on.
