...On The Crest Of A Wave, Rob...


On the crest of a wondrous wave,
Life quickly passes us by,
Things happen that we don't understand,
Things that often make us cry.

We get hurt, things occur,
And we don't know what to do,
So we decline, and hide away,
Because it's hell we're going through!

So we drink a little bit of alcohol,
And sip a little bit more…
Because we feel that nothing is right,
And our self esteem is on the floor.

We try and bury our fears,
But the fears are there to stay,
But if you focus, and stay strong,
The end result will be okay.

We don't expect much to go wrong,
As through life we tarry…
But then our shoulders are sagging,
With the heavy weight we carry!

And we watch the waves bobbing along,
Rolling further and further away…
Wishing we were with them,
For we need help to get us through the day!

And every wave that we see out there,
Is a little bit closer, and a little bit more…
Nearer to disappearing into oblivion,
It's only peace that we all long for!

But life is never that easy!
It has twists and turns and they bend,
But if we stay focused and forward on,
Peace will at last - become our friend.

So don't look to the bottom of a glass,
For that swirling liquid that is there,
Is putting you on the road to hell,
A road that you begin to not even care!

And when you get to that stage…
When life seems not worth living for,
Pick yourself up – dust yourself down,
And dig deep down inside you to the core!

…And drag your strength and courage,
Eke it out - bring it to the fore,
And then, and only then…!
Will you be able to fight some more!

So when you see that swirling nectar,
In the glass within your hand…!
Stop!  Think about what you are doing,
Was this something that you planned?

Did you plan to give up your life?
And leave it up to your fate!
No, you didn't, it's just a glitch or too…
So fix it, before it's too late!

And when one day in the future,
When your life is back on track again,
Look back to this awful time,
And make sure you don't go there again!

For every day we die a little bit more,
And though that's the end result for all,
Remember, life your life to the best you can,
Before we finally get our call…!
