Oceania

Oceania [Bjork]

One breath away From Mother Oceania Your nimble feet make prints

In my sand 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 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

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
