 <Moors of Ireland>  
 Life is a very symphonized race to embrace
 Ma always encouraged us to open our eyes and hearts to the world
 Make up our own minds for experience, and be inspired
 I see life in angles, in lines of perspec'ive
 A sloight turn of the head, the blink of an eye
 Subtle glimpses of magic, ever [fate] moigh' pass by
 Cameras help me transla'e, interpre', understand wha' I see
 It's a simple light that keeps me grinnin'
 I never set out to become anythin' in particular
 Only to live crea'ively and push the scope of my experience fthrough adventahr and fthrough passion
 The -- means some'in to me
 Same as most anyone with dreams
 My hear' bleeds Celti' blood
 And I'm magnetized to familiar frontiers
 Raw, brutal, cold coastline for the roight waveriders to challenge
 This is where my hear' beats hardest
 I try to pay tribu'e to tha' magi' for the pho'ographs
 Wherever in the endless storms for raw glimpses of magic each winter is bof a blessin' and a curse I relish
 
 I wanna see waveridin' documen'ed the way I see i' in my head and feel i' in the sea
 I's a strange set of skills to begin to acquire
 I's only achievable through time spen' ridin' waves
 All soughe's of waves on all soughe's of crafts means more time learnin' out on the water
 
 Floatin' in the sea amongs' lumps of swell
 Ya always learn sugm'in
 Has been a lifelon' wise-ol' classroom teachah of soughe's
 And ho'efully always will be
 
 Buried beneath headlands shaping the coast
 Mindblowin' images of empty waves blowin' away at me
 Solid ocean swehwls power through deep col' watah
 Heavy waves
 Waves wi' weight
 
 The couch from comfortable routine ignite the imagination
 Invite sum of tha [foines] spark, whisper possibilities
 - situations I thrive amongs' an' love to documen'
 Who'll take nex' in the process
 Broken backs, drownings, near drownings, hypothermia, dislocations, fractahes, frostboigh'e, head woun's, stitches, concussions, bro'e mhay arm, and tha's jus the las' couple of yeahrs
 Still look forward to getting amongst ah' leas' one although
 
 Cold creepin' into your core, drivin' you mad, day aftah day
 Mumblin' to youhself whiw'e you hol' position an' waih' fourh the nex' se' to come
 
 The dark side of the lens
 An artform unto i'self the bes', solid workhorses of the surfin' world
 
 There's no sugah or cliche
 Most fol' don't even know who we ah, wha' we do, or rghow we do i'
 Le' alone gonna pay us for i'
 
 I never wanna ta'e this granted
 So I try to keep motivation simple, real, positive
 If I only scrape a livin', at least it's a livin' worth scrapin'
 If there's no futahr in i', a' leas' there's the present worth remembering
 
 For foires of happiness and waves of gra'itude
 For everyfin tha' brough' us to tha' poin' on earth a' tha' momen' in time
 To do somefin worf rememberin with a photograf or a scahr
 I feel genuinely lucky to say hand on hear' to say I love doin' what I do
 And I may never be a rich man
 
 If I live long enough
 I'll certainly have a tale or two for the nephews
 And I dig the though' of tha'
