Oceania
Björk
One breath away
From Mother Oceania
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, oh
You dance by my side
Children sublime
You show me continents
I see the 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, oh
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
