gives back with every wave...

father time just keeps on ticking,
steady as he goes,
refreshing every moment,
where its going noone knows,

he fills us often with smiles and laughter,
but just as often with sandness and tears,
with steady hands just keeps on changing,
rolling through the years,

mother ocean, she's a lover,
but not the heartless kind,
in and out she keeps on going,
keeps us rolling with the tide,

she keeps time with her great lover,
and keeps her beat right with the days,
for just as mother ocean takes away from us,
she gives back with every wave,
