lyrics

Let the children out to play
They don’t know to hear what we have to say
All they need is the ocean
All they need is devotion
That’s true
And we’ve done everything that we can do

The tide turns with the moon rise
Still the lunar pull weakens by and by
Someday the tide will stand still
Leaving ship on the hill
That will be a long time from my own
That will be a long time from my own

Let the children out to play
They don’t know to hear what we have to say
All they need is the ocean
All they need is devotion
That’s true
And we’ve done everything that we can do

The stars shine with the sun set
Still one guiding light is how we all met
It could have died long ago
And I would never know
But that will be a long time form my own
that will be a long time form my own

Salt, fish, and water the ocean will provide
The lesson that we teach the young will help them to survive
Below the murky deeps is a cornucopia
But the callous brackish waters caring nothing of your crippling phobias
A constant battery of wave reshape the shore
Until familiar eyes no longer recognize it anymore
Newborn worry of nothing, just the moment that’s at hand
Not the existential crisis that always plaguing man

The winds blow from the earth’s heat
Still the universe slowly fall asleep
Someday the wind will freeze
Leaving ships out at sea
But that would be a long time for my own
that would be a long time for my own

Let the children out to play
