One breath away from mother Oceanðòa  

Your nimble feet make prints in my sands  

You have done good for yourselves 

Since you left my wet embrace 

And crawled ashore 

Every boy, is a snake is a lily  

Every pearl is a lynx, is a girl 

Sweet like harmony made into flesh 

You dance by my side 

Children sublime 

You show me continents 

I see islands 

You count the centuries 

I blink my eyes 

Hawks and sparrows race in my waters 

Stingrays are floating 

Across the sky 

Little ones, my sons and my daughters 

Your sweat is salty 

I am why 

I am why 

I am why 

Your sweat is salty 

I am why 

I am why 

I am why
