Wake Brothers

We are brothers claiming air for it is ours to take
between the wake and the waves you will find us
not the person you think we are but who we really want
only in that moment when we soar, we see ourselves

Grabbing onto those last minutes with the sun fading
we cheer, exhuberant, exhausted, our last run
arms extended, we glide over that smooth water, collapse
it has us, we've decided, we lose ourselves this night

The pull, the edge, it pops us higher than before
laughing children couldn't climb this high
it isn't possible to care, tomorrow means nothing
calling it off, we sink our hearts on water sleds

Dream man came while we woke our hearts
he rode with us this very night
taking every single one of us
talking to our souls
they were lost and adrift on life
