Consistent by David Garner
Consistent
I'd like to be
Like the waves in the ocean
Like the tides at sea
Like their luminous motion
Consistent
I wish it were it me
The waves always finish
What they always begin
They never crash out
Before they crash in
They're consistent
'Cause they've always been
The stars in the sky
And the waves of the ocean
They've got a rhythm
And they've got a plan
And I study their rhythm
And I follow their plan
And I take what they give me
I take what I can
And I learn from their movements to be a better man
Consistent
I'd like to try
(to be)
Like the stars in the night time
Like the moon in the sky
They always shine right at the right time
Consistent
So why can't I?
The stars may seem distant
But they're there to be found
They never burn out
Before they burn down
They're consistent
'Cause they've been around
