It was cold on the docks that night As a frozen white light Shone across my shoes As I stood in the darkest blue There came a light towards me On the water that lay before me And I could not wait to touch The frozen hands that had felt so much Oooooooo I heard a song inside of me It resonated off the sea And all the chorus voices sang it back to me If life is an ocean Then I'm only on the surface This is where they come in Where some lives end and some begin And this is where I like to stand And watch the swirling ways of man To stir humanity with visions of dignity To see what will conspire If I throw myself into its fire Oooooooo I heard a song inside of me It resonated off the sea And all the chorus voices sang it back to me If life is an ocean Then we're only on the surface Ooooooooo I heard a voice inside of me I looked up and I saw the sky scream And there was light everywhere If life is an ocean Then I must be on the surface Only on the surface
