Oceania

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

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
