Lyrics
Our love is an ocean
Far reaching and wise
Power of devotion deep down inside.
Nations rise and fall
With the sun and moon and tide
There's thunder in the wilderness I hear a cry.
A river raging through canyons
Sweeping us away.
Where ever it's taking us I can't say
We're swept away.
I stood on top of a mountain
High abouve the Earth.
She's the one who brought us here
And gave us all our birth.
She's the one who feeds us
As mothers always do.
She's the one who needs us now.
We're swept away.
