Lyrics
This One?s A Sea Steve Kunzman Ó 2003
Holding hands we jumped right in
Not knowing how deep we would go
First hot and then cold, from our hearts to our souls
Expecting others to know
Then others began to join
Some jumped, some came from inside
Some kicked up their heels, singing waltzes and reels
Some stuck on a sharp pin of pride
[Chorus]
Oh how can it be
So many rivers run dry
But this one has turned to a sea
Where we?ll float for the rest of our lives
Whenever a bottle floats by
We try to decipher the note
But we don?t get far, so we study the stars
While riding the currents below
[Chorus]
Oh how can it be
So many rivers run dry
But this one has turned to a sea
Where we?ll float for the rest of our lives
Holding hands we jumped right in
Not knowing how deep we would go
First hot and then cold, from our hearts to our souls
Expecting others to know
[Chorus]
Oh how can it be
So many rivers run dry
But this one has turned to a sea
Where we?ll float for the rest of our lives
