The Wave

Music by Ada Bird Wolfe & Jamieson Trotter, Lyrics by Ada Bird Wolfe

There was a wave
An ocean thing
That snatched
And all around
Was water filled with sand
Who knew up
Who knew down
Not me

It’s true I was a
Little girl
But if I’d been
Full grown
There is nothing
You can do
When it wraps you
In its arms
The sea

You learn to be quite still
And calmly hold your breath
That cold behind your back
Will it ever let you go?
Don’t know

And then it spits you out
Although it drops you
To your knees
Tumbling pebbles
Broken shells
You are marked
But you are free
Free me.
