When These Mountains Were The Seashore |
When these mountains were the seashore |
When this desert was the ocean floor |
We would swim beneath the star filled sky |
We were lovely fish alone in the night |
Before the cities met the heavens |
I mean way, way, way back before then |
We would sing as if it were a prayer |
We were lovely fish who dreamed to dare |
Before clocks kept track of the time |
When day lead gracefully into the night |
Before two fish who dreamed to fly |
Created their sadness and new reasons to cry |
When these mountains were the seashore |
When this desert was the ocean floor |
You and i were not born yet |
It’s too long ago now even to forget |
When the blue sky found it’s courage |
To love and raise and nourish |
Back when life was simply meant to be |
Our love and care alone in the sea |
Before clocks kept track of the time |
When day lead gracefully into the night |
Before two fish that dreamed to fly |
Got suspicious of a miracle |
And asked themselves why |
When we looked up through the water |
At time and space and wondered |
What it might be like to live up there |
To leave our fins and gills for the air |
Before clocks kept track of the time |
Before the poems began to rhyme |
Before two simple fish that learned to cry |
Got suspicious of their love and asked each other why |
