One breath away from mother Oceania

Your nimble feet make prints in my sands
A#m6 F# F7 A#m
You have done good for yourselves
F#
Since you left my wet embrace
F7 A#m
And crawled ashore
A#m6 F# F7 A#m
Every boy is a snake - is a lily
F# F7 A#m
Every pearl is a lynx - is a girl

Sweet like harmony made into flesh
F#
You dance by my side
F7 A#m
Children sublime
F# F7
You show me continents
A#m
I see islands
F# F7
You count the centuries
A#m
I blink my eyes
F# F7 A#m
Hawks and sparrows race in my waters
F# F7
Stingrays are floating
A#m A#m6
Across the sky
F# F7 A#m A#m6
Little ones, my sons and my daughters
F#
Your sweat is salty
F7 A#m7
I am why
A#m6 F#
I am why

I am why

Your sweat is salty
F7 A#m7
I am why
A#m6 F#
I am why

I am why
