Ocean As Well

(album: On The Verge - 2010)

Seed breaks free and flowers
Catches the wave of the wind
Planted south by the water's edge
Far below the canyon walls
We are those mighty rivers
Connecting at the mouth and joining currents
Currently I, I'm waiting for those midnight hours
When the moon undresses all her glory
I can hear her singing

'You are my shell, my ocean as well
Put your mouth to my mouth, breathe along
You are my shell, my ocean as well
Put your mouth to my mouth, breathe along'

Gravity holds no presence here, nor do expectations
I suspected that, I have gained mountains of patience
And valleys upon valleys of insight (inside out, I[?])
I am a separate individual
And I'm feeling downright comfortable
With the time and space that we've created for ourselves and

You are my shell, my ocean as well
Put your mouth to my mouth, breathe along
You are my shell, my ocean as well
Put your mouth to my mouth, breathe along
You are my shell, my ocean as well
Put your mouth to my mouth, breathe along
You are my shell, my ocean as well
Put your mouth to my mouth, breathe along

My high progression is like an elevator
Suggesting that we hit the top floor for a view of the sunset
And as the sun goes down, from a structure top in town
The sky is littered with the stars you're dropping on me
And as the green light flashes, the wise old owl passes
Whispering the words from the underworld, I hear him singing

'You are my shell, my ocean as well
Put your mouth to my mouth, breathe along
You are my shell, my ocean as well
Put your mouth to my mouth, breathe along
You are my shell, my ocean as well
Put your mouth to my mouth, breathe along
You are my shell, my ocean as well
Put your mouth to my mouth, breathe along

If I want to know God, I must know myself
I want to see God, I must see myself
I want to love God, I must love myself
If I want to know God, I must know myself
I want to see God, I must see myself
I want to love God, I must love myself (hey, hey)

If I want to know God, I must know myself
I want to see God, I must see myself
I want to love God, I must love myself
If I want to know God, I must know myself
I want to see God, I must see myself
I want to love God, I must love myself

If I want to know God, I must know myself
I want to see God, I must see myself
I want to love God, I must love myself
If I want to know God, I must know myself
I want to see God, I must see myself
I want to love God, I must love myself

If I want to know God, I must know myself
I want to see God, I must see myself
I want to love God, I must love myself
If I want to know God, I must know myself
I want to see God, I must see myself
I want to love God, I must love myself

If I want to know God, I must know myself
I want to see God, I must see myself
I want to love God, I must love myself
