When the waves roll on,
Over the waters
And the ocean cry

We look to
Our sons and daughters
To explain our lives

As if a child can tell us why
That as sure as the sun rise
As sure as the sea
As sure as the wind in the trees

We rise again
In the faces of our children
We rise again
In the voices of our song
We rise again
In the waves out on the ocean
And then we rise again

When the light goes dark
With the forces of creation
In a stormy sky

We look to reincarnation
To explain our lives
As if a child could tell us why
As sure as the sun rise
As sure as the sea
As sure as the wind in the trees

We rise again
In the faces of our children
We rise again
In the voices of our song
We rise again
In the waves out on the ocean
And then we rise again

We rise again
In the faces of our children
We rise again
In the voices of our song
We rise again
In the waves out on the ocean
And then we rise
And then we rise again
