Well I know that the best things in life are free
And the ocean bears testimony
Being unsatisfied is a trick of the mind
Happiness comes from inside
Surfing is my meditation
The oceans my medication
When I'm out past the breakers
I forget all my troublin'
And all of the achin'
I'll silence my thoughts
Jump in and awaken
The ocean - it teaches me
I'm happy and I'm free
And I've everything I need
The ocean teaches me
Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh
It's - Hard work - fighting the white water
But Knowing where the rip is will help you over sooner
See knowledge is the cure for fear
And fear just prevents you from truly being free
Take in each moment - Be gold under the sun
If you flow with whats coming You'll always stay above
Once you're up on your feet, its a rush Its a dream
You might eat dirt and water
But It'll make you stronger
The ocean it teaches me
I'm happy and I'm free
And I've everything I need
The ocean teaches me
Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh
In Life you need a higher state of mind
If you want get rolling out there in the higher tides
And you gotta paddle faster or
You'll end up under water...
Take a deep breath
When you see a big one coming for ya
Follow the patterns that life always shares
Patience will reward you if you just read the waves...
Do what makes you -Feel Alive
Cos you only have this life
You only have this life
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
The ocean teaches me
