When there are hard times I'll step it up When there are dangerous times I'll spot them up I'll take my time to make up my own mind To set it up when the times are calling for a steady creed How do I know it's time? Even if I've got mine 'Cause if the wise do know what wisdom is If I could err on every good side every time Out on the water A rider can ready Though waves comes crashing A good board can steady I wouldn't ever want to bet upon the balance on what's going on Would I? Stay What's in my way? Got to have it to get over it To have an empty fortune when I fear To have a deadly weapon, as it's called Which is an answer to a challenge made by anything Then to always know just what things violence needs How do I know its time? Even if I got mine 'Cause if the wise do know what wisdom is If I could err on every good side every time Out on the water A rider can ready Though waves comes crashing A good board can steady I wouldn't ever want to bet upon the balance on what's going on Would I? Why wouldn't I?
