INTO THE OCEAN song lyrics by Joel Sattler

 

When I fall

into the ocean

to the sea

sea of devotion

I shall float

follow the motion

on the waves

waves of emotion

 

Come with me

we shall set sail

on the star trail

see the moon flying over the rail

Orion holds the cup of the Grail

seagulls crying to no avail

crying for the blue whales

 

so free

 

When I fall

into the heavens

from the seas

seas that are seven

I’ll be one with water

west wind swirling just like a daughter dancing 

eyes as bright just as the mother of pearl

faster ever faster fast advancing

or the edge of the world

 

North to east to west to south

up and down and in and out

the water green and warm and crashing

like a storm over the bow

forget tomorrow and the past

the only is is what there is now  

 

South and north and east and west

Let the tide decide what is best

In this life I am but a stranger

I am only a guest

 

When my heart

when my heart opens

I’ll become

all that I’m hoping 

take the morn 

as a good omen

when I fall

into the ocean 

 

Come with me

we shall set sail

on the star trail

see the moon flying over the rail

Orion holds the cup of the Grail

seagulls crying to no avail

crying for the blue whales

 

To the distant shore

sail forever and more

 

spread the main and fly

up into the blue sky
