G F#7 Bm Bm6
One breath away from mother Oceania
G F#7 Bm
Your nimble feet make prints in my sands
Bm6 G F#7 Bm
You have done good for yourselves
G
Since you left my wet embrace
F#7 Bm
And crawled ashore
Bm6 G F#7 Bm
Every boy is a snake - is a lily
G F#7 Bm
Every pearl is a lynx - is a girl
G F#7 Bm
Sweet like harmony made into flesh
G
You dance by my side
F#7 Bm
Children sublime
G F#7
You show me continents
Bm
I see islands
G F#7
You count the centuries
Bm
I blink my eyes
G F#7 Bm
Hawks and sparrows race in my waters
G F#7
Stingrays are floating
Bm Bm6
Across the sky
G F#7 Bm Bm6
Little ones, my sons and my daughters
G
Your sweat is salty
F#7 Bm7
I am why
Bm6 G
I am why
F#7 Bm7
I am why
Bm6 G
Your sweat is salty
F#7 Bm7
I am why
Bm6 G
I am why
F#7 Bm7 Bm6
I am why
