We Are The Sea
Seeing the sea recede
A foolish man thinks he's beaten the tide
So he goes deeper in
Shaking his fists with a threat to the sky
Then he looks to the shore
Calling to those who choose to be fooled
"I have defeated the sea, so clearly I am the one to rule".
But what he can't really know
It's already to late to be saved
'Cause when it all turns around
It'll be in the form of a tidal wave
We are the sea. Time is the tide.
We have the power to make things right
We will not change. We will not stop.
The ocean is made of single drops.
We are the sea. Time is the tide.
We have the power to make things right
We will not change. We will not stop.
The ocean is made of single drops.
Many followed him in
Emboldened, they scrawled their hate in the sand
"Our words will stand for all time..."
Just as the sea came crashing in
And there was nowhere to run
No one to blame, no God, and no gun
Nothing could stop the wave
Until the wave was done
We are the sea. Time is the tide.
We have the power to make things right
We will not change. We will not stop.
The ocean is made of single drops.
We are the sea. Time is the tide.
We have the power to make things right
We will not change. We will not stop.
The ocean is made of single drops.
Now, there is no sound
Except for waves, and birds, and life
The ugliness is gone
Taken by the incoming tide
And every wave that crashes
Reclaims what was always to be
And the clock will only go forward into history.
We are the sea. Time is the tide.
We have the power to make things right
We will not change. We will not stop.
The ocean is made of single drops.
We are the sea. Time is the tide.
We have the power to make things right
We will not change. We will not stop.
The ocean is made of single drops...

We Are The Sea
Seeing the sea recede
A foolish man thinks he's beaten the tide
So he goes deeper in
Shaking his fists with a threat to the sky
Then he looks to the shore
Calling to those who choose to be fooled
"I have defeated the sea, so clearly I am the one to rule".
But what he can't really know
It's already to late to be saved
'Cause when it all turns around
It'll be in the form of a tidal wave
We are the sea. Time is the tide.
We have the power to make things right
We will not change. We will not stop.
The ocean is made of single drops.
We are the sea. Time is the tide.
We have the power to make things right
We will not change. We will not stop.
The ocean is made of single drops.
Many followed him in
Emboldened, they scrawled their hate in the sand
"Our words will stand for all time..."
Just as the sea came crashing in
And there was nowhere to run
No one to blame, no God, and no gun
Nothing could stop the wave
Until the wave was done
We are the sea. Time is the tide.
We have the power to make things right
We will not change. We will not stop.
The ocean is made of single drops.
We are the sea. Time is the tide.
We have the power to make things right
We will not change. We will not stop.
The ocean is made of single drops.
Now, there is no sound
Except for waves, and birds, and life
The ugliness is gone
Taken by the incoming tide
And every wave that crashes
Reclaims what was always to be
And the clock will only go forward into history.
We are the sea. Time is the tide.
We have the power to make things right
We will not change. We will not stop.
The ocean is made of single drops.
We are the sea. Time is the tide.
We have the power to make things right
We will not change. We will not stop.
The ocean is made of single drops...
