The Ocean - Against Me!
If I could have chosen where God would hide his heaven

I'd wish for it to be
in the salt and swell of the ocean
Carried by the currents to all continents' shores

Reaching into depths
where the sun's light has never shown

Mixed with algae and coral,
breathed in by sharks and dolphins

Sailed by tanker ships, private yachts, swam in by tourists

Working its way up through inlets, lakes, and rivers

Swamps, and estuaries,
down through limestone into the aquifer
Purified by the county,

pumped through pipes and out faucets
Filled into a glass to meet the thirst of our children

And if I could have chosen,
I would have been born a woman

My mother once told me
she would have named me Laura
I'd grow up to be strong and beautiful like her

One day I'd find an honest man to make my husband
We would have two children,
build our home on the Gulf of Mexico
Our family would spend hot summer
days at the beach together

The sun would kiss our skin
as we played in the sand and water
And we would know we loved
each other without having to say it
At night we would sleep
with the windows of our house left open
Letting the cool ocean air soothe
the sunburned shoulders of our children

There is an ocean in my soul

Where the waters do not curve

There is an ocean in my soul

Where the waters do not curve

There is an ocean in my soul

Where the waters do not curve

There is an ocean in my soul
Where the waters do not curve
