Lilo-ing into the Blue

Lilo-ing into the blue

Out of the water you come

Down off the cliff

Over the rocks and the sand

to the shore

You have a need to go out

Take every risk strange and new

Pick desperation then shout

Shout for help from the lifeboat crew

Out of the water you come

Down off the cliff

Over the rocks and the sand

to the shore

Surfing the rollers all day

Lilo-ing into the blue

Sailing - not knowing the way

Shout for help from the lifeboat crew

Out of the water you come

Down off the cliff

Over the rocks and the sand

to the shore

When the great waves batter in

Your ship wallows - sinking - and you

Know just where you should begin

Shout for help from the lifeboat crew

Out of the water you come

Down off the cliff

Over the rocks and the sand

to the shore
