Story Behind The Song
I was hanging out with a group of people that I thought could be influential to my career, but to be honest, this wasn't making me happy and all the time I craved for the simple things in life. Nature...being a part of it, respecting it and living it.
Song Description
Imagine yourself stuck in a boring office meeting or gathering of people that you really have nothing in common with. They talk money, you talk breaking free.
Throw away your armani suit and exchange it for a wet suit. Go out and get lost in what Mother nature gives you for free.

Lyrics
Here I am, out of my depth again, conversation flowin' like champagne,
But I declare, I d rather be on the sideline.
Why am I hangin' out in this crowd, those voices screamin' at me so loud,
I'm overcome, I'm walkin' on a fine line.
When I wish I could ride on, ride on the face of, Mother natures way.
Well I wish I could ride on, ride on the face of, an eternal wave.
Sittin' here, I really do get so bored, same shit I've heard a thousand times before
Let's break it loose now, let's go and spend some time.
Away from all luxury so fine, somewhere to happily remind us of a way gone,
In the arms of another time.
When I wish I could ride on, ride on the face of, Mother natures way.
Well I wish I could ride on, ride on the face of, an eternal wave.
Away, away, away, na, na, na, na, na, na, simplify it all, want to simplify it all,
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Oh I take a look at the world, oh she is cryin',
Cryin' out for love she's, cryin out for love,
Take a look at he world, see she's cryin'.
She needs a little tenderness, a little tenderness,
She needs a little bit, she needs to know that there's still,
Someone, somewhere who cares just a little bit, cares just a little bit,
Look at the world, see she is cryin'.
