lyrics

Solitude, comes is like the ocean, like the tide.
Bringing peace, a respire from a worried state of mind.
In this state, things are somewhat undefined.

Flowing through are thoughts and sensations intertwined.
Even though, I am here in this moment of my life,
I can see an ocean that knows no sense of time.

(Insert the poem, The Ocean, by Nathaniel Hawthorne.)

The Ocean has its silent caves,
Deep, quiet, and alone;
Though there be fury on the waves,
Beneath them there is none.

The awful spirits of the deep
Hold their communion there;
And there are those for whom we weep,
The young, the bright, the fair.

Calmly the wearied seamen rest
Beneath their own blue sea.
The ocean solitudes are blest,
For there is purity.

The earth has guilt, the earth has care,
Unquiet are its graves;
But peaceful sleep is ever there,
Beneath the dark blue waves.
