Waves Crashing Against the Shore MAG
Let confidence be your only oar
The sun’s rays calling you to stand
Leave the shell of doubt sitting on the shore
Board the ship with dignity and valour
The long journey anything but planned
Let confidence be your only oar
Pull your anchor and refuse to moor
Failure as small as a grain of sand
Leave the shell of doubt sitting on the shore
Like the gulls and pelicans you can soar
The salty spray under your command
Let confidence be your only oar
The sun and the moon at war
As the tides wear away at the land
Leave the shell of doubt sitting on the shore
Crashing waves rooted deep in your core
The seas deemed soft solely by your hand
Let confidence be your only oar
Leave the shell of doubt sitting on the shore
