When the waves roll on over the waters

And the ocean cries

We look to our sons and daughters

To explain our lives

As if a child could tell us why



That as sure as the sunrise

As sure as the sea

As sure as the wind in the trees

We rise again in the faces

of our children

We rise again in the voices of our song

We rise again in the waves out on the ocean

And then we rise again



When the light goes dark with the forces of creation

Across a stormy sky

We look to reincarnation to explain our lives

As if a child could tell us why



That as sure as the sunrise

As sure as the sea

As sure as the wind in the trees

We rise again in the faces

of our children

We rise again in the voices of our song

We rise again in the waves out on the ocean

And then we rise again



We rise again in the faces

of our children

We rise again in the voices of our song

We rise again in the waves out on the ocean

And then we rise again
