How far is far? Yet not so far, when you're looking at the sea?
How does the moon know to pull and glow? give her signs to you and me?
What do you think is the missing link which brings the stars to dance?
Each tiny cell of an old sea shell is part of the one romance.
Why do the clouds fly on by?
What is the big surprise?
What is the sound always heard, which we can't memorize?
A winged albatross so gracefully, just kissed sea with sky
For what we are looking
For what we are searching is right before our eyes.
To all you dear folks on this paradise island
Who know that the sun is our lifelong friend.
The sublime summers grow the papayas
With the coconuts falling let's say "amen"
So when you see a white cap cresting the ocean;
Put that white cap on (yahoo!)
And take an adventure,
A sterling adventure of the "sea-gull-breeze-along"
And set out to sea from your own little landing
Free your boat from the dock.
Maintain the paths that haven the heavens
The key opens wide the celestial locks.
And tomorrow, it seems, brings so many changes
But change re-arranges the challenge within.
To grow through the valley that seemed like a mountain
Before we became forever friends.
To all you dear folks on this paradise island
Who know that the sun is our lifelong friend.
The sublime summers grow the papayas
With the coconuts falling got to say ""amen"
Mother nature has the gift which pleases the pleasure
Give thanks to the power, way beyond men.
The birds in the treetops, they sing of the meaning
Why green is so green; all of nature is kin.
So happy days are coming, the golden harps are strumming,
The honey bees are humming, there's magic in the air.
Inside's a feeling, but we must be patient:
There's so much will happen to end all despair. (repeat)
So much will happen to end all despair.
To all you dear folks on this paradise island
Who know that the sun is our lifelong friend.
The sublime summers grow the papayas
With the coconuts falling got to say
"Amen, amen, amen".
