2.Now a man comes up from amongst the throng
  Takes the young boys hand and his hand is strong
  And the child feels safe, yeah the child feels brave
  As he's carried in those arms up and over the waves

3.Inst.

4.Let's move forward now and the child's seventeen
  With a girl in the back seat tugging at his jeans
  And she knows what she wants, she guides with her hand
  As a voice cries inside him I'm a man I'm a man!

5.Now the man meets a woman unlike all the rest
  He doesn't know it yet but he's out of his depth
  And he thinks he can run it's a matter of pride
  But he keeps coming back like a cork on the tide

6.Well the years hurry by and the woman loves the man
  Then one night in the dark she grabs hold of his hand
  Says there can you feel it kicking inside
  And the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine

7.Inst

8.So the clock moves around and the child is a joy
  But death doesn't care just who it destroys
  Now the woman gets sick thins down to the bone
  She says where I'm going next I'm going alone

9.On a distant beach lonely and wild
  At a later time see a man and a child
  And the man takes the child up into his arms
  Takes her over the breakers to where the water is calm
