Lyrics:
I’ve been here from the very start I weren’t so steady and I weren’t so smart
But I kept on rollin.

I thought I would land on the beach one day and all I loved would go away,
But I kept on rollin.

At times I felt so alone out there like if I disappeared who would give a care,
And feeling so small isn’t fun isn’t fair when I look deeper I am everywhere

My name is Roland and I be rollin’
If you think you’re one small wave, you’re gonna change your song
Just roll like me someday you’ll see that we were the whole wide ocean all along.

When its raining you can say hello to me you can ride me down the river to the deep
blue sea cuz I keep on rollin.

Nobody else can take your moment in the sun it seems like we’re so many but we’re
only one so why why don’t we keep on rollin?

At times it can feel so alone out there like if you’d disappear, who would give a care?
Feeling so small isn’t fun isnt’ fair but when we get deeper we are everywhere

My name is Roland and I be rollin’
If you think you’re one small wave, you’re gonna change your song
Just roll like me someday you’ll see that we were the whole wide ocean all along.

Let’s sing it again when the chorus begins all you fishes clap your fins!

My name is Roland and I be rollin’
If you think you’re one small wave, you’re gonna change your song
Just roll like me someday you’ll see that we were the whole wide ocean all along.

(spoken) I’m parched. I think I need a glass of me!

Lyrics:
I was born in a big black crack at the bottom of the sea
No one ever loved me. I grew up unhappily.
Now I just can’t stop myself. I don’t care what I do.
I’m swallowing my feelings and I may just have to swallow you.

I’m so hungry. I’m always empty inside.
Gnarly hungry. There’s no place you can hide.
I’m so hungry.
It would do no good to shout.
Cuz’ I’m gonna chew you up. Then I’m gonna spit you out.

So if you see me coming you better get to higher ground.
There’s gonna be deep trouble whenever Gnarly comes around.

Don’t say I didn’t warn ya’ I told you I was whack.
I won’t pretend to need a friend, but I could always use a snack.

I’m so hungry. I’m always empty inside.
Gnarly hungry. There’s no place you can hide.
I’m so hungry.
It would do no good to shout.
Cuz’ I’m gonna chew you up. Then I’m gonna spit you out.

I’m so hungry. There’s a hole down in my soul.
I’m so hungry. When I hit the shoal, I’m gonna take a toll.

When I’m hungry it would do no good to pout.
Cuz’ I’m gonna suck you up, then I’m gonna spit you out.
I’m a force that you can’t resist. And ME is what I’m all about.

When my brain is illin’ and I get that empty feelin’ I gotta eat.

(belch)

Sweet.

Lyrics:
When the moon is high
And the sky is alive
No I don't know
What could be better than you and I
And the peace that I find in your smile
Oh your smile

Now I, I'm starting to see
Everything's part of you and me

I'm along for the ride
I can change with the tide
Love is real and we'll be fine
I will always be kind
I won't leave you behind
I'm all yours and you're all mine

In the shimmering sun
There'll be no need to run from your sorrows
Baby I'm here just to be around
When your ship runs aground
You're alright, I'll be your light

No I, I'm starting to see
Everything's part of your and me

I'm along for the ride
I can change with the tide
Love is real and we'll be fine
I will always be kind
I won't leave you behind
I'm all yours and you're all mine

All mine, all mine
I'm all yours and you're all mine
All mine, all mine
I'm all yours and you're all mine.

Lyrics:
We’ve got everything and nothing to lose,
No sense feeling down singing the blues.
We got it all. We got it all.

Kids like you and waves like me,
We’re deeper than the deep blue sea
We own Earth, Mars and Mercury
We have everything.
