Can you dynamically animate a SVG?

I am working on coding my site and I had this great idea to animate my navigation bar which is held in a SVG container. Due to the naturally wavy design, I was going for something similar to the Discord intro, where the waves sweep across the screen while waving. So I was wondering if there was a way I can do that, open to any ideas. JQuery, Java, CSS, anything to help.

I have worked slightly with CSS, but had no clue were to start with Java or JQuery. I am looking for a way to get this working onClick with a Hamburger Menu.

body {
  font-family: 'Raleway', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
  overflow-x: hidden;
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: white;
}

.main_hd_cont {
  position: absolute;
  top: -1.25vw;
  left: 1.5vw;
  z-index: 2;
  color: white;
}

.main_hd_txt {
  font-size: 3.5vw;
  font-family: 'ballet_harmonyballet_harmony';
}

svg {
  filter: drop-shadow(.5vw .5vw .15vw rgb(0, 0, 0, 0.6));
}

.navigation_svg {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  z-index: 1;
  max-width: 100vw;
  width: 100vw;
}

  </section>
  </section>
</body>

</html>
The only thing I've gotten it to do is fade, but hat was a mere test of the @keyframes ability to animate SVGs.

You can transition the path's d property with css like this:

path {
  transition: d 1s;
  d: path('M547 93.0001C496 38.0001 457 29 372 15C276.086 -0.79759 -57 -52 9.99988 240C33.2036 341.127 87.9999 397 157 366C226 335 285 227 325 341C365 455 407 425 598 412C789 399 841 322 839 233C837 144 688 162 642 169C596 176 598 148 547 93.0001Z'); 
}

path:hover {
  d: path('M547 92C471.994 92 482.5 -39.5 372 14C284.509 56.3601 -57 -53 9.99984 239C33.2035 340.127 82.5699 351.503 157 365C253.5 382.5 248.741 246.296 325 340C401.5 434 445.063 526.153 598 411C768 283 874.5 310 839 232C802.123 150.975 671.067 131.667 642 168C616 200.5 613 92 547 92Z'); 
}
<svg viewBox="0 0 900 500">
  <path d=""/>
</svg>

Using keyframes

path {
  animation: 10s infinite alternate wave ease-in-out;
}

@keyframes wave {
  from {
    d: path("M2,5 S2,-2 4,5 S7,8 8,4")
  }
  to {
    d: path("M2,5 S2,14 4,5 S7,8 8,4")
  }
}



body {display: flex;}
svg {width: 100%;}
path {fill: none;stroke: #000;}
<svg viewBox="0 0 10 10">
  <path d="M2,5 S2,-2 4,5 S7,8 8,4" />
</svg>
