You cannot drown a tidal wave,
though many have attempted the feat;
the task has sent many to the grave.
You cannot find happiness as a slave.
You'll find a whip every time you meet
for you cannot drown a tidal wave.
You cannot find honesty in every knave.
They're filled with wonder, from their head down to their feet;
the task has sent many to the grave.
You cannot search for light in a cave.
Through the darkness you'll find there, you cannot see;
you cannot drown a tidal wave.
You cannot hate a person that you save.
You may think you do, and that might be the key,
for the task has sent many to the grave.
The life may leave the last of the brave,
but there will always be a memory.
You cannot drown a tidal wave,
the task has sent many to the grave.
