Lyrics or Keywords

When the waves roll on over the waters And the ocean cries. 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 Across a stormy sky. We look to reincarnation 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. 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. And then we rise again.
