Child of the Ocean

You were a child of the ocean conceived in the sea
And what a creation you have grown up to be
You've planted a field and flown around the world
You know the order of the presidents and what they did

When your cookie crumbled you made it into bread
When you should have stumbled you skipped instead

With the patience of the ocean you do what you say
For a little erosion goes a long way

With a single wave you have blown me away
Like a powder keg ignited by the light of the break of day

A confusing situation can happen in a dream
Somehow you seem to know just what it means
Unlikely situations should take you by surprise
But the past and the future seem to swim in your eyes

Anything I mumble you always understand
Anything I fumble is in your hands

With a single wave you have blown me away
Like a powder keg ignited by the light of the break of da

I have never seen the ocean but was conceived in the sea
I never had the notion that we would meet
I was lying in a field with my ear to the ground
Somehow you approached without a sound

When I turned around at first you weren't there
I lifted my head and you were floating in the air

With a single wave you were blown away
And you said my name
