High up on a cliff I sit and watch the waves Listen to the sound of the sea It makes me happy and calms me down All this feels at home for me
I've been sitting here all my life And I never want to leave this place Though just sitting around here seems senseless I feel connected to the ocean with all its waves
Thinking about a greater sense in life The sea keeps drawing my attention Maybe I've already found it Right in front of my eyes Why should all this not be good for me?
All of a sudden a grinding sound breaks the silence The rock I'm sitting on begins to shake And though the cliff is about to collapse I don't move A captain always goes down with his ship
And in these few seconds between living and dying I review my previous life Could I have lived like all the other people I know Or is the ocean what I'm living for?
Thinking about a greater sense in life The sea keeps drawing my attention Maybe I've already found it Right in front of my eyes Why should all this not be good for me?
Suddenly the rock breaks off Falls into the sea I close my eyes and plunge into The sea I love so much Swallowing the cold salt water I'm about to faint
As the water fills my lungs I can feel death's embrace But I realize I don't regret giving my life to my beloved sea
