I AM THE SEA
I AM THE SEA BECAUSE I CAN BE CALM AND SOOTHING

I CAN SING YOU TO SLEEP AND MAKE YOU FEEL FREE

I AM THE SEA BECAUSE I STORM AND I ROAR
I AM ANGRY
BUT ONLY IF YOU HURT ME
I SWEAR IT'S ONLY IN SELF DEFENSE

I NURTURE AND HEAL
THERE IS A PLACE IN MY HEART FOR YOU AND YOU
YOU WON'T HAVE TO WAIT IN LINE
I WILL HOLD AND EMBRACE

MY WAVES ARE MADE FROM JOY AND A HINT OF WIND

I WILL LOVE
AND THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT,
I THINK.

I AM THE SEA BECAUSE IF YOU WERE A BOAT
I WOULD GUIDE YOU TO SAFETY
AND CARRY YOU THROUGH MY STORMS
I WILL TAKE YOU AWAY FROM THE VICIOUS CREATURES THAT SWIM IN MY SOUL
AND BRING YOU TO A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN PLAY WITH THE DOLPHINS AND SWIM WITH THE MERMAIDS.
I KNOW THAT MERMAIDS DON'T EXIST
BUT DON'T WORRY BECAUSE MY WATERS ARE
ENCHANTED

I AM THE SEA BECAUSE EVEN ON A RAINY DAY
I CAN BE GRACEFUL
I AM THE SEA BECAUSE ONCE I FIND YOU,
YOU WON'T NEED A **** THING TO BE SAFE IN MY OCEANS.

YOU COULD ROAM FREE IN THESE WATERS
WITH NO CARES.
I CAN'T PROMISE YOU THAT YOU WON'T DROWN
BECAUSE YOU MAY WANT TO!
BUT I CAN PROMISE THAT
ONCE YOU DO DROWN
MY OCEAN WILL STREAM FULL OF YOUR NATURE
FROM NOW TILL THE END OF MY WATER CYCLE AND THE NEXT
AND THE NEXT
AND THE NEXT
BUT DON'T WORRY
BECAUSE YOUR HEART IS SAFE
I KEEP IT WITH MINE
HIDDEN 35,994 FEET UNDER
IN MARIANA'S TRENCH IT WILL REMAIN
TILL THE DAY YOU CHOOSE TO DRIFT OFF ONTO SHORE
SAIL
SWIM
ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT, GENTLY
BECAUSE IT HURTS
RIPPLES THROUGH ME REMIND ME
THAT SHIP HAS SAILED
THE SALT HAS MADE YOUR SKIN DRY
THE BIRDS TOLD ME YOU WERE TIRED OF SWIMMING
SO GO ON,
GO ON
TO A ISLAND SO DIVINE
I ASSURE YOU
I'LL BE FINE
JUST LOOK ..
LOOK HOW I GLOW
WHEN THE SUN REACHES MY HORIZON
I
AM
THE
SEA
