Watch the ocean
Wake in your smile
Palms of hands and trees
Wave to the sky
Footprints in the sand
Where we ran
Let your mind go
Back with the tide

A dress sways
In the breeze
Flowing hair
Covering face
Open mind
Let the nations race
And the sea
Comes up to your knees

So much going
On in the world
Can't believe
The news on TV
Crying for our
Fighting brothers
Gone away at sea

Come escape
To our island
Let your life
Just pass you by
Open mind
Let the nations race
And the sea
Comes up to your knees

To escape
All the things
Breathe it all
In and out
Your words are not
Like politicians'
I would trust your every say

A dress sways
In the breeze
Flowing hair
Covering face
Open mind
Let the nations race
And the sea
Comes up to your knees

Come escape
To our island
