Ocean Song

Oh take from me this suffering And take from me this yearning For life without death For light without dark For knowledge without the learning Lead me to the ocean's edge To the tides of holy water Baptize me in the cool moonlight And take me down Mother, take me down To the place beneath the water And wash away this suffering And wash away this yearning For life without death For light without dark For knowledge without the learning I knock on the door of the one who knows She opens the ancient castle I meet her gaze eyes open wide And I follow her down Yes I follow her down Past the depths of my unknowing Please take from me this suffering Please take from me this yearning For life without death For light without dark For knowledge without the learning I dance with her on the ocean's floor In a current always churning I learn the ancient waltz of time What is born must die What is dead must rise What is lost is still returning
