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