The Glory of the Ocean Lyrics

Glory!

I saw the ocean from up on a hill
And I looked out upon
The waves

I looked out upon the waves
Become individual things out of the mass
Eternal
Breaking all over themselves

I looked at the waves
And felt surrounded

I felt the water deep in my lungs
I felt the water deep in my lungs
And I let myself slip away

Glory!
Taking it in...
My body – give it away.

An empty space
With nothing after all

Yes!
This it!
This is the Ocean!
My body – give it away.

Nothing to begin with
And nothing after all

(Rise and Fall and rise and fall rise and fall ∞ )

Time held me green and dying
In the mercy of it's means
Though I sang in my chains like the sea
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea
