Everything is calm, a bright and sunny day. Vendor's start to open, they're showing me the way. Reflections off the water, bring memories of the past. A young man full of spirit, a life that left to fast. Surfing was his hobby, it made him feel so free. But life can be so cruel, like the rough and rapid sea. A job that was to risky, Brought his living to an end. But his soul has never left us, so these words I want to send... I know you've gone to heaven, but until we get there too, let the waves always stay beautiful, reminding us of you. Dedicated to Nelson Dettmer
