about

I have a friend who has an interesting existence: armed with his spiritual beliefs and his gentle demeanour, he travels around his homeland, New Zealand, in his camper van, with no schedule to keep to but his own.

Why am I pulled to the sea?
Why does the ocean speak to me?
I am Master of the Waves

I have the tides at my command

So why can’t I find you?

I have forgotten my real name
And where I’m from
I need to keep things simple

I have forgotten my real name
And where I’m from
I need to keep things simple

I don’t remember who I was
I’ve forgotten who I will be
Why can’t I find you?
