Ocean Head

We start so small there’s so much to us
Who builds the wall we can never rise above?
But I can tear them down for you
Tear them down, but I’m not going to drown for you
Someone rocked you on the deep
Someone rocked you off to sleep
Now I’m rocking you awake
How much rocking can you take?
Rock you ready now to walk the waves instead
Wake up, wake up ocean head
We work so hard, we live for working
Where are the stars? If we could only raise our heads
But I can hand them down to you
Hand them down but I’m not going to drown for you.
Let the sea come crashing in in
Let it take you up again
Let it pound upon your shore
Let it’s love become your law
But it can’t wash out whatever came before.
We are so wise but there’s no one listening
Who starts the lies that keep us prisoners
But I can burn them down for you
Burn them down, but I’m not going to drown for you.
