lyrics

She dances to the rhythm of the moon
More strange than true
She whispers to you
With wind in her hair and sand underfoot
Oh she’ll carry you when you need to float
But she can drown you
In the very next stroke

So dip into the darkness and glide through her swell
You think you know her well
But she’s deeper than you ever can tell

She rises with the coming of the dawn
Sets when day’s done
She waits for no one
With fire in her soul and light in her eyes
She wears no disguise
And you watch her
As she flies

So bask in her brightness and bathe in her glow
You think you know
But she’s warmer than she ever can show

She’s not of your world
Her spirit is made of gold
And she’s not yours to hold

She’s the sea
She’s the sun
She belongs to no one
She’s herself
And that’s all she needs to be
She’s herself
And she’s free!
