[intro]

[Verse 1] 
I went to the ocean shore 
Said a prayer out to Njord 
Stood in the gentle swells 
out and in, 
In and out

Covered by sand, ankles deep 
The tide teaching me mystery 
Its subtle, simple tale to tell
Out and in, 
In and out

[bridge] 
What the water roared to me 
As I looked upon its majesty 
I will tell, glad and free
an everyday philosophy

[chorus] 
Stand where you may 
This constant's true 
Tide rolls in, tide rolls out 
No matter what you do
[hook] 
Move or Be Moved !

Can't deny the ocean 
Cannot still the deep and blue
Life will CON-tin-you 
So choose... 
Move or be Moved!

[Verse 2] 
In winter fields I took aim
Chasing down horn-ed game 
The start and end both the same 
Rise and set, 
set and rise

No creatures strayed between my sights
But from one space sunrise turned to night 
Everything seemed good and right 
Rise and set, 
Set and rise

[bridge] 
What dawn and dusk spoke to me
In their dancing eternity 
I will share, hum-bul-ee
An unspoken philosophy

[chorus] 
Stand where you may 
This constant's true 
Stars and Worlds stay their course 
No matter what you do
[hook] 
Move or Be Moved !

Can't deny the sunrise 
Cannot stop setting moons 
Life will CON-tin-you 
So choose... 
Move or be Moved!

[interlude]
Endless space
Countless spheres
On one blue speck 
Are all my fears 
All my joys 
All my life 
All I know 
And all my Whys 
In the scheme 
So goddamn small 
What am I 
to do at all? 
My path swings 
on this one chance 
Stand and sing 
or join the dance!

[pause] 
Every day... we choose.

[SOLO]

[bridge] 
Water, air, earth, and flame 
Each rolls like dice, the same 
Bet and watch or join the game 
Either way you're part of the play

[chorus] 
Stand where you may 
This constant's true 
Tide rolls in, tide rolls out 
No matter what you do
[hook] 
Move or Be Moved !

Can't deny the ocean 
Cannot still the deep and blue
Life will CON-tin-you 
So choose... 
Move or be Moved!

[chorus] 
Stand where you may 
This constant's true 
Stars and Worlds stay their course 
No matter what you do
[hook] 
Move or Be Moved !

Can't deny the sunrise 
Cannot stop setting moons 
Life will CON-tin-you 
So choose... 
Move or be Moved!
