Are we not like the wave?
Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet.
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
Sometimes big, sometimes small.
Are we not like the wave?
Sometimes angry, sometimes calm.
Sometimes chromatic, sometimes gray.
Sometimes in rhythm, sometimes out.
Are we not like the wave?
Sometimes pulled, sometimes pushed.
Sometimes leaving, sometimes returning.
Sometimes lingering, sometimes fleeting.
Are we not like the wave?
Sometimes together, sometimes alone.
Sometimes destructive, sometimes restoring.
Sometimes taking, sometimes giving.
Are we not like the wave?
Sometimes converging, sometimes dispersing.
Sometimes translucent, sometimes opaque
Sometimes distant, sometimes close.
Are we not like the wave?
