lyrics

Living in an oceanic paradise
Makes you look at the world
Through another kind of eye
If you limit yourself to all you think you know
Then you must do away
With the only way to grow

I find it funny sometimes when you knock on wood
Because these boats are temporary
But if we steer them like we should

We could be anything down here
Anything down here

Living for the first time with the land in sight
Puts a smile on my face
And a twinkle in my eye
You can drift for years, floating aimlessly
Until the current picks you up
And puts you up upon the beach

I find it funny sometimes when I think of you
Cos if you were a wiser man
You might come swimming in the blue

And become anything down here
Anything down here
All that you can hear
It all becomes so clear

Now ride the swell lines up and down
Right across the waves till you reach a town
Where the waters whisper simple tunes
That you've spent your whole life humming to

Now sit and be; be rooted like the trees
And you will come to see that you have sailed on your own breeze
And drifted for a reason
For you needed to be seated
Before you could open up and see
That there are many roads to freedom

And you'd better believe that
Love is the highest form of feeling
And even when you bleed you blood is flowing in agreement
And never saying no to the power that you hold
Cos from these sticks and stones
You can construct a sturdy boat
To bear you across the ocean
To a love you've always known

Living for the first time in our lives
