when the waves roll on
over the waters
and the oceans cry
we look to our sons and daughters
to explain our lives
as if a child could tell us why

that as sure as the sunrise
as sure as the sea
as sure as the wind in the trees

we rise again
in the faces of our children
we rise again
in the voices of our song
we rise again
in the waves out on the ocean
and then we rise again

when the light goes dark
with the forces of creation
in a stormy sky
we look to reincarnation to
explain our lives
as if a child could tell us why

as sure as the sunrise
as sure as the sea
as sure as the wind in the trees

we rise again
in the faces of our children
we rise again
in the voices of our song
we rise again
in the waves out on the ocean
and then we rise again

we rise again
in the faces of our children
we rise again
in the voice of our song
we rise again
in the waves out on the ocean
and then we rise again
