Gazing at the ocean waters
The rippling waves
Descending in symphony
As they hit
Against the rocks
As they brush
Along the shores

Listen to the waves_
They speak

Hear the subtle roar
Of ages
The history
Only the tides can tell
Because only they know
The many tales

Listen to the waves_

Hearken to their voices
Whistling in the breeze
Expressing
A spirit of calmness
From all the trouble
They've seen
Afflictions of long ago
Of great people
Brave and courageous
The unscrupulous
Unmerciful and cowardice

Listen to the waves_

Then, gradually
If not for a moment
Still waters
Ceases the sound
Peacefully assuring
The future
Will be all right

Listen_
For the waves speak.
