I dip my head beneath the waves [instrumental] I dip my head beneath the waves Letting the icy Pacific Ocean Clear my senses; releasing my spirit Beaten down by the grind of city life Didn’t we all come from the ocean Life lumbering onto the sand, warmed by the sun Will we one day return Freeing our spirit; the energy we once inhabited I dip my head beneath the waves Reaching out, I break the surface, and Stroke out into the surf Escaping for a time a life I hate Didn’t we all come from the ocean The scholars say it is so No garden in the desert No apple handed to Eve I dip my head beneath the waves Where once Mollusks and Tetrapods Lived near the shore 400 million years ago Didn’t we all come from the ocean We know our ancient ancestors did Like me, seeking a better life A safer life, warmed by the sun and sand A life warmed by the sun and sand
