On the surface

It was cold on the docks that night
As a frozen white light
Shown across my shoes
As I stood in the darkest blues
There came a light towards me
On the water that lay before me
And I could not wait to touch
The frozen hands that had felt so much
Ooooooooooo
I heard a song inside me
It resonated off the sea
And all the chorus voices sang it back to me
If life is an ocean
Then I´m only on the surface
This is where they come in
Where some lives end and some begin
And this is where I like to stand
And watch the swirling ways of man
To stir humanity, the visions of dignity
To see what will conspire
If I throw myself into it´s fire
Ooooooooooo
I heard a song inside me
It resonated off the sea
And all the chorus voices sang it back to me
If life is an ocean
Then we´re only on the surface
Ooooooooooo
I heard a voice inside of me
I looked up and I saw the sky scream
And there was light everywhere
If life is an ocean
Then I must be on the surface
Only on the surface
As a frozen white light
Shown across my shoes
As I stood in the darkest blues
There came a light towards me
On the water that lay before me
And I could not wait to touch
The frozen hands that had felt so much
Ooooooooooo
I heard a song inside me
It resonated off the sea
And all the chorus voices sang it back to me
If life is an ocean
Then I´m only on the surface
This is where they come in
Where some lives end and some begin
And this is where I like to stand
And watch the swirling ways of man
To stir humanity, the visions of dignity
To see what will conspire
If I throw myself into it´s fire
Ooooooooooo
I heard a song inside me
It resonated off the sea
And all the chorus voices sang it back to me
If life is an ocean
Then we´re only on the surface
Ooooooooooo
I heard a voice inside of me
I looked up and I saw the sky scream
And there was light everywhere
If life is an ocean
Then I must be on the surface
Only on the surface
