As the sun begins to rise
And a brand new day is born
I watch the dolphins ride the waves
In the hours just past dawn

I stand tall just like a sentinel
And help guide the ships to shore
As the waves lap all around me
I hear the mighty ocean roar

I'm at the mercy of Mother Nature
So many storms I have endured
The ocean is a temptress
Many fishermen have been lured

The sea has become angry
As lightning cracks the sky
The seagulls look for shelter
As they struggle so hard to fly

The ocean is so treacherous
Many boats have not returned
The mighty sea should be respected
There is so much still to be learned


In the quiet of the evening
Long after the storm has gone
I'll listen to the humpback whales
As they sing their mournful song

* * *

I am an ocean
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
