I have seen the splendor of the moonlight on the waves.
The brilliance of the sun sparkling playfully in the day.
I have seen the glory of life being spawned at sea...
I have seen many things; I have seen the sea.
I have heard the call to dinner of gulls upon the beach.
The songs of the great whales as they begin to breach.
I have heard the crash of mighty waves all around me.
I have heard many things; I have heard the sea.
I have smelled the salty water as it sprayed into the air.
The fish that swim beside me sometimes nipping at my hair.
I have smelled the scent of mermaids as they swim wild and free.
I have smelled many things; I have smelled the sea.
I have touched the face of stingrays as they swam in the shallows.
The tiny seahorses, shells and starfish curiously mellow.
I have touched the belly of the dolphins playfully,
I have touched many things; I have touched the sea.
I have tasted all the tropic's fare when dining with my love.
Coconuts, pineapples, seaweed too, and rain from above.
I have tasted the sweetness of the flowers in the breeze.
I have tasted many things; I have tasted the sea.
I have been to all the shores that line the continents.
I've built all the reefs on earth and fed all its inhabitants.
I've taken sailors around the world, wherever they wish to be.
I have been everything... I AM THE SEA.
