I think we're afraid of the ocean
Because it shows us how big we think we are
When most life runs to the forest
We do all our running in our cars
The ocean could kill us with its heartbeat
Crash its waves on all of our shores
But it sits there in silence as we worry about fighting another war
And everyone's trying to move forward
Like their parents taught them to do
Reach for the stars and when you get there
Pull them all down here to you
Sometimes your heart don't feel the wind
And your eyes they just can't see
If we live with what we have in our hands our minds will be free
But who am I to talk about the ocean?
And what I think is right and wrong
Any man with pen and paper
Can put his thoughts into a song
I walk down a street of strangers
And everyone hangs their heads low
The trees we need for forever when our lives come and go
And we've all got bricks in our pockets
Keeping us always in touch
Cause when we lose communication
We fear we don't have much
But I promise there is a bigger picture
Then the one that fits on your screen
So throw your brick into the ocean and feel your heart beat
