"A Mighty Wave" is the sixth song on Land Shanties, released in partnership with Suzuki Australia in April 2021. The lyrics detail the thrill of exchanging a silent greeting with a fellow driver.

Lyrics[]
Upon the black tar backstreets, a vessel all alone
My weary eyes are scanning this empty school zone
When over the horizon, comes a car I know
A mighty Vitara, just like my very own
I raise a flag of unity, a gesture of the brave
A signal to the helmsman, with a single finger wave
My belly half-full of drive-thru, the rest of butterflies
I pray, don't leave me lonesome, as we draw alongside
The gales from the AC aid a chilling point indeed
There's no colder a place for a heart to be than hangin' in the breeze
For I sent a beacon bold and bright, and haven't heard in days
In truth, it's been a second, but soon we're parting ways
Like ships passing in the night, but there's no pitch and roll
And it's actually pretty sunny, at 3:30 in the arvo
Nevermind, hold hope I say, lock eyes and now we dance
For the pride of our rides, give this moment a chance
My finger standing to attention
A captain at the bow
C'mon my friend, reciprocate
The time is now
(There it is, lads!)
{Chorus 4x}
Now it's farewell, my familiar, farewell and au revoir!
But there's no bond like drivers of the same model car
I'll take the road ahead, for you and I must part
But there's no bond like drivers of the same model car
There's no bond like drivers of the same model car
