[Verse]
The whisper of a gentle breeze,
As moments drift like waves at sea,
Time flows softly, as we sigh,
And dreams take flight, reaching high.

[Verse 2]
Stars may fade and seasons change,
Yet through it all, our hearts remain,
In every glance, a silent vow,
We'll find our way, here and now.

[Chorus]
As moments drift away, my dear,
We'll hold to every smile and tear,
For in the flow of time, we see,
The beauty of life's melody.

[Verse 3]
Sunsets paint the sky in gold,
Stories of the days retold,
In every touch, a memory,
Of what we've shared, eternally.

[Bridge]
Though shadows fall and nights grow long,
We'll dance along to our own song,
And with each dawn, a new surprise,
A world of wonder in our eyes.

[Outro]
As moments drift away, my dear,
We'll hold to every smile and tear,
For in the flow of time, we see,
The beauty of life's melody.

[End]

Koop island blues

I Wish I Was
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

I'm gonna sleep all through the day
I'm gonna waste my life away
I'd like to be a stronger man
But I don't really think I can

I really wish that I could fly
I thought that I would try
But I will sit down on the ground
The only safe place that I've found

[pre-chorus]
I would get up to the table
But I don't think that I'm able
I don't think I'll ever be
Anything more than plain ol' me

[chorus]
I wish I was
I wish I was
I need a good kick in the ass

[instrumental]

There was a time I would have tried
A time I thought I could
But I guess I must have lied
I am still here where I stood

Things did not go my way
Or maybe much too often
When you don't need to try
In time your will is bound to soften

[pre-chorus]
If I had put in some more effort
If I had done the harder work
If I had gone the way you went
If had turned left at the fork

[chorus]
I wish I was
I wish I was
I need a good kick in the ass

[instrumental]

I am doing what I've done
It has always been enough
Not enough to make a change
But I've never been that tough

Here I am, kicking the can
One more time, passing the buck
One more time, dreaming the day
One more time, waiting for luck

[pre-chorus]
I have a plan, that won't come through
Making plans is all I do
But here I am, here I am
I am not much of a man

[chorus]
I wish I was
I wish I was
I need a good kick in the ass

[instrumental]

[outro]

But here I am
Here I am
I am not much of a man

I wish I was
I wish I was
I need a good kick in the ass

I Wish I Was (348)

Die stof spat op waar die stryd begin,
Die lig is swaar met die las van sonde in.
Die skare leen terug, veilig en stil,
Maar hy staan alleen, met onbreekbare wil.

Die houe tref hard, die bloed loop vry,
Maar hy is hier vir meer as net leë praat-tyd.
Dis nie oor roem nie, nie oor faam,
Dis oor opdaag, om die spel te naam.

Hy’s die man in die arena, waar die sterk harte staan,
Deur vuur en skadu’s, waar die waarheid bestaan.
Wen of verloor, dit bly die probeerslag,
Die stryd’s in sy bloed, en dit bly sy wag.

Dié wat oordeel, voel nie die seer nie,
Hulle waag nooit, hulle’s nooit regte weer nie.
Hy’s nie bang vir mislukking en die las wat dit dra nie,
Want hy veg voort, hy is nie hier om te kla nie.

Dis nie vir die kykers, nie vir die bang nie,
Dis vir die vegters wat bly staan so lank.
Met stof op sy hande en ywer in sy gees,
Ken hy die prys van ’n droom wat bly wees.

Hy’s die man in die arena, waar die sterk harte staan,
Deur wind en storms, waar die waarheid bestaan.
Wen of verloor, dit bly die probeerslag,
Die stryd’s in sy bloed, en dit bly sy wag.

Jy proe nie die lewe as jy nooit waag nie,
Daar’s geen beloning as jy nie opdaag nie.
Dis die wenners wat weet hoe om te val,
Maar weer klim, ongeag hoe diep die dal.

Hy’s die man in die arena, waar die sterk harte staan,
Deur reën en haal, waar die waarheid bestaan.
Wen of verloor, dit bly die probeerslag,
Die stryd’s in sy bloed, en dit bly sy wag.

Laat hulle skree en gooi wat hulle wil,
Hy’s nog hier — sterk maar stil.
Dis ’n pad vol dorings en sonder parade,
Maar dis syne, en hy loop dit sonder genade.
