Waves on the ocean Names in the sand His new promotion And her wedding band Things that we hope for And things that we plan Can slip through our fingers And out of our hands Just like freshly cut flowers That die overnight Like an old family portrait That fades in the light Run from the things that can shorten your life Don't let your ignorance hinder your sight Because hell isn't worth you maintaining your pride Ooooh, Ooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh So if you're caught in a current And you're drifting along Take this as a warning And not just a song Don't be ashamed to admit you've been wrong Take hold of grace before time is all gone And fight for the hope that keeps you pressing on
