Analysis of When the wave hits



When the wave hits
It knocks you down
When the wave hits
The streams start flowing
When the wave hits
The flames burn
When the wave hits
There’s a wish the darkness would come
When the wave hits
The fish gets stranded on shore
When the wave hits
The freezing grip of life gets a hold
When the wave hits
