When the wave breaks,
Will you stand firm and strong,
Resistant to ugly and merciless wrong?

Or when the wave breaks,
It will surely be soon,
Will you ride on the surf with the moral-immune?

When the wave breaks,
Will you value your freedom
And defend the pure peace of your heart's inner kingdom?

Or when the wave breaks,
Will you wash up on shore,
With the weak and the meek and the self-unsure?

When the wave breaks,
Will you swim bold and well,
Will you struggle to ride out the fearful swell?

Or when the wave breaks,
Will you crave for the power,
Which feeds on the few who so in their skins cower?

And when the tide turns,
Will you stand tall and proud,
Unless fallen in battle, your love shouting loud?

Or when the tide turns,
Will you claim not to know,
And be sucked out to sea by deep guilt's ever vengeful undertow?
