I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean I am a rock not just another grain of sand I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand Because we can She’s in the kitchen staring out the window So tired of living life in black & white Right now she’s missing those technicolor kisses When it just ain’t alive Lately feeling like a broken promise In the middle staring down this town There’s only one thing in this world that she knows He said forever and he’ll never let her down I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean I am a rock not just another grain of sand I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand Because we can She laid take out on the coffee table Prepped the dishes poured a glass of wine Turn down the sound and move a little closer Here for the moment everything is alright I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean I am a rock not just another grain of sand I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand Because we ca-an our love can move a mountain We ca-an if you believe in we We ca-an just wrap your arms around me We ca-an we ca-an I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean I am a rock not just another grain of sand I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean I am a rock not just another grain of sand I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand Because we ca-an our love can move a mountain We ca-an if you believe in we We ca-an just wrap your arms around me Because we ca-an, we can Because we can
