OCEANS 

Meaning:

Did you ever feel a firm push into a direction that you were reluctant to go?  A guardian angel leading you into the light?

I was a hard case.  A true “waiting until the final moment to change” and “cause a lot of pain before do so” kind of guy.

Fortunately, there is time to change the way you live while you’re alive.  Chances aren’t just given.  Sometimes they have to be earned.  Sacrifices have to be made in order to correct the mistakes and ensure that they will never occur again.  The ones who have been hurt must be compensated in order for trust to be restored.

The experience of love is one of the benefits of being human -and one of the hardest things to achieve in its purest form, especially the way the world is going.  It takes hard work, a positive attitude, faith, and trust to sustain love.

Love is like an ocean.  It’s beautiful, serene, and full of life.  In the depths of the sea there are beautiful fish, plants and everlasting landscapes of seemingly endless beauty.  Through all of that, there are also sharks and different deadly predators lingering in the darkness.  These equate to things we, as humans, endure in life such as evil in the world and all of the things put here to stain our souls and leave us empty.  Life isn’t an easy swim.  It takes a keen eye to spot evil and precision to avoid it.  It takes learning lessons from mistakes made in the past to prevent them in the future.

Lyrics:

All along the shores, I’ve waited

In the golden sands, the faded past gives way

To help me understand

All my loved and cherished ones waiting in the sun

It took a while to wake up

We have begun

 

Coming back for more, I saw

The error of my ways, and all the tears cried

For all the yesterdays

Another strike against the soul for every risk you take

Against the grains of love

Give more than you take

 

Caught in the undertow

It tried to take me away

Coming up for air

To see the life that’s been saved

Love is on the horizon

And I’m catching this wave

 

Let’s set sail for a while

Always moving with the tides

New life always brings a smile

And currents will wash the pain away

 

Masquerade cast away

No rhyme or reason

Masquerade cast away

No rhyme or reason

 

Let’s set sail for a while (Won’t you take a swim with me?)

Always moving with the tides (won’t you take a swim with me?)

And the currents will wash the pain away
