[Verse 1] Saltwater heavy on the continental shelf, Cruising through the shadows, keeping to myself. An engine made of muscle, an ancient design, Crossing from the deep blue past the river line. [Chorus] Up against the current where the fresh water bends, Where the map of the ocean changes and ends. Gray ghost rising, gray ghost rising, The toughest traveler that the stream has seen. [Verse 2] Shallow muddy waters where the mangroves grow, Navigating secrets that the humans don't know. From the mouth of the river to the heart of the land, Leaving quiet ripples in the shifting sand. [Chorus] Up against the current where the fresh water bends, Where the map of the ocean changes and ends. Gray ghost rising, gray ghost rising, The toughest traveler that the stream has seen. [Outro] Turning back to the ocean, riding down the tide... Into the deep wide.
