Make Waves

Lyrics

These days, everyone knows to wear your popular smile with your popular clothes.
And that ain't so bad I suppose, but man, it's hard to make waves with the popular folks.
And it don't pay to be strange, no. But that don't mean you should change.

Don't let em get you down. You've got a dreamer's heart. Keep your head in the clouds. Keep your eye on the stars.
Don't let em get their way. You gotta stay the course. When then run from the waves, you'll be making the storm.

These days, if you fly in the face of the way of the world you will be a disgrace.
And hell ain't very easy to raise all alone with a match in a heavenly haze.
And it don't pay to be strong, no. But don't you follow along.

Don't let em get you down. You've got a dreamer's heart. Keep your head in the clouds. Keep your eye on the stars.
Don't let em get their way. You gotta stay the course. When then run from the waves, you'll be making the storm.

I guess there's a draw to the view that we all ought to walk down the road as a crew.
And freestyle is a hard thing to do when it's easy to hide and it's hard to be true.
And it don't pay to be real, no. But that ain't the way it should feel.

Don't let em get you down. You've got a dreamer's heart. Keep your head in the clouds. Keep your eye on the stars.
Don't let em get their way. You gotta stay the course. When then run from the waves, you'll be making the storm.
