One breath away from mother oceania Your nimble feet make prints in my sands You have done good for yourselves since you left my wet embrace and crawled ashore
Every boy is a snake is a lily Every pearl is a lynx is a girl Sweet like harmony made into flesh You dance by my side. Children sublime
You show me continents. I see islands You count the centuries. I blink my eyes hawks and sparrows race in my waters Stingrays are floating across the sky
little ones, my sons and my daughters your sweat is salty, I am why, I am why, I am why your sweat is salty, I am why, I am why, I am why
