lyrics

I watch the waves crash
they line the horizon
singing of all they've seen
rise and fall

life that we've wasted
love that we've tasted
prayers that we've sent up
to the stars above

I am chasing the songs of the ocean
and I am waiting to make sense of its call
Let my feet turn rugged from running bare
across the soil that holds us all

This air we breathe in
is the same as the treetops
same as the raven that rides
on the breeze

I breathe the salty air
it rolls o'er the grasses
carrying tales of skies
we'll never see

For we are all children
near the wild of the ocean
stretching for miles
across borders and time

And all we've broken
we know how to mend it
for each word we've spoken
it travels on the tides

I am chasing the songs of the ocean
and I am waiting to make sense of its call
Let my feet turn rugged from running bare
across the soil that holds us all

Our hearts are rooted
when we let them blow freely
our minds they open
when our bodies dance

So let us follow
the song of the ocean
lift up our voices and
lift up our hands

We are chasing the songs of the ocean
and we are waiting to make sense of its call
Let our feet turn rugged from running bare
across the soil that holds us all
