The earth breaths deep and let's us go
the waves roll in and off they go
a girl smiles bright then off she goes
the waves roll in and off they go
love fills us up and then no more
the waves roll in and off they go
the sun comes out and then it snows
the waves roll in and off they go
the land is dead but then it grows
the waves roll in and off they go
content at last and there that goes
the waves roll in and off they go
...
and so we battle trading blows
an old soul dies a new babe grows
time comes quick and then it slows
our life comes and there it goes
waves roll in and off they go.
