A Life Beyond the Sea [#OceanByTheSunChallenge]

[VERSE 1] Sun rays shimmer softly on the glass, jellyfish and bubbles drifting through the blue. Underwater you drift upward, seeing wondrous creatures drifting past you. Footprints fade in the sandy ground, you look around — it’s only something round, and time drifts unbound. [Pre-Chorus] Your dream could be to reach land, feeling new feet in the sand. You hear his voice calling, you feel yourself falling — but it’s beyond reach. [Chorus] Eyes fixed at the shore, seeking his hand and life on land. Time and again, you look at the moonlit bay. The sun sinks slowly, as one fin fades away. [Verse 2] The sky grows rough, stars drift above, shining on the rising waves, creating a reflection of ancient days. And that little boat is now afloat. [Chorus] Eyes fixed at the shore, seeking his hand and life on land. Time and again, you look at the flooded bay. The sun sinks slowly, as your magic fades away. [Bridge] You stand where ocean meets land, breathing in new air you can’t see, the shoreline shifts beneath the sand, whispering who you once could be. Waves rise around your feet, pulling your form toward the deep, and in that fading shape you keep, you finally feel complete. [Final Chorus] Eyes gazing at his face, seeking no shape and no change. Time begins again, you look at the breaking day. The sun glows slowly, as all doubt fades away.
