I found a seashell on the shore
I raised it to my ear
Just to see what I hear
I heard the sea roar
My mind started to explore
I found a seashell on the shore

I found a seashell on the shore
I raised it to my ear
Just to see what I hear
I heard the waves racing to me
It set my mind free and helped me find peace
I found a seashell by the shore, next to the sea

Find your seashell on the shore
Raise it to your ear
What do you hear
How does it make you feel
Find your seashell on the shore, the freedom is real

seashell

your smile
reminds me of seashell.

it’s pretty
beautiful, actually.
you may think
it looks like every other seashell  
but it doesn’t.
your seashell is special.

i want to keep it
all to myself.
but i know it’s selfish to
find a beautiful seashell
and take it, keeping it
locked up on a shelf.

it makes me feel
like i’m home.
that seashell reminds
me of all the times
i’ve spent in the place
i love the most.

but when you look
inside
it’s completely hollow.
there’s nothing behind
that seashell.
it’s sad just how empty it is.
