the rocking of ages

you might fling yourself upon that rock

like the sea 

                      like the sea

and then draw back 

   then draw back

 to be and be 

baptised 

unto your deity

so now you think 

  you understand 

but "it" is one step ahead

  one step ahead 

it has just left the room

  just left the room

just around the corner

  around the corner

so turn back now

  and turn back to

this your daily bread

for reluctantly 

   the reluctant sea

has seen it all before

has seen the tides 

of humanity

ebb and flow

  ebb and flow

so now you know 

   so now you know

      now you know
