One breath away from mother ocean�a
your nimble feet make prints in my sands
you have done good for yourselves
since you left my wet embrace
and crawled ashore
every boy, is a snake is a lily
every pearl is a lynx, is a girl
sweet like harmony made into flesh
you dance by my side
children sublime
you show me continents
i see islands
you count the centuries
i blink my eyes
hawks and sparrows race in my waters
stingrays are floating
across the sky
little ones, my sons and my daughters
your sweat is salty
i am why
i am why
i am why
your sweat is salty
i am why
i am why
i am why
