Lyrics
The sea is vast;
On the surface it's calm.
See all the people, just cruising along.
They're feelin' real secure and they're having fun
Just layed way back and takin' in the sun.
So don't make waves.
Don't make waves.
The water's still;
The river's smooth as glass.
See all the people just drifting past.
The current's so mild, they just move with the flow
Along the river's course, wherever it goes.
Don't make waves.
Some call it a sin
'Cause they don't know how to swim.
Don't make waves.
You mustn't forget
They don't wanna get wet.
So don't make waves.
Don't make waves.
The bay is sheltered;
The harbour's serene.
See all the people, as if in a dream.
They're feelin' safe near the shore, paddling around
While ripples wash in; peace and quiet abound
