Get Back On Your Board

I go to the beach
This wave is really high
I swim right out
I'll give it try
I go there lots
Out there in the night
It's really dark
But the moon gives light
I get smashed by waves
And let out a cry
I climb back on my board
Failure I won't buy
Surfing has taught me
To always believe
I'll always be trying
And I'll always achieve
