A G#7 C#m C#m6
One breath away from mother Oceania
A G#7 C#m
Your nimble feet make prints in my sands
C#m6 A G#7 C#m
You have done good for yourselves
A
Since you left my wet embrace
G#7 C#m
And crawled ashore
C#m6 A G#7 C#m
Every boy is a snake - is a lily
A G#7 C#m
Every pearl is a lynx - is a girl
A G#7 C#m
Sweet like harmony made into flesh
A
You dance by my side
G#7 C#m
Children sublime
A G#7
You show me continents
C#m
I see islands
A G#7
You count the centuries
C#m
I blink my eyes
A G#7 C#m
Hawks and sparrows race in my waters
A G#7
Stingrays are floating
C#m C#m6
Across the sky
A G#7 C#m C#m6
Little ones, my sons and my daughters
A
Your sweat is salty
G#7 C#m7
I am why
C#m6 A
I am why
G#7 C#m7
I am why
C#m6 A
Your sweat is salty
G#7 C#m7
I am why
C#m6 A
I am why
G#7 C#m7 C#m6
I am why
