I finally find the perfect surf spot
I jump out of the car the ground is hot
I run down the beach my feet are on fire
I can't wait to get in the water it’s my only desire
I paddle out, the water is cold
I dive under a wave as sparkly as gold
I get out the back my arms are burning
the water is clear but the white wash is churning
I look deep in the water I see something grey
It's only a dolphin who has come to play
Here comes a wave I call out "It's mine"
I paddle for it, it looks so fine
I get to my feet and ride it along
I know in my heart this is where I belong
