lyrics

We've lived by the ocean
But never seen what lies beneath
Heard the tales of wonder from heroes past
Of the riches under the sea
We stand on the cliffside
Surveying the waters below
And we swallow our pride
As we make the decision

To dive into the ripples of ocean tides
Without a knowledge of what we'll find
Just breath we're holding on for our lives
From the ghosts that are trapped in the brine

There's always a consequence
And a cost to every leap
There's a trail of wreckage and shattered souls
Pointing out the perils that lurk down deep
But there's treasures untold beneath the blue
And pearls of such beauty as we never knew
The secrets of the world
And mysteries unnumbered hidden from view

We live by the ocean and
Soon we'll see what lies beneath
Tell our tales of wonder like those heroes past
While our children sit at our feet
We've jumped off the cliffside
Towards a glint in the water below
But the vision goes blind
As we break through the surface

And dive into the torrents of ocean tides
Without a knowledge of what we'll find
Just breath we're holding on for our lives
From the ghosts that are trapped in the brine
Shadows that wail in broken sigh
That we're fools for being willing to try
They'll never see what we find
Then we'll look to the sky
See the sun call us high with our prize
Clutched to our hearts as we rise
