about

We have been a band for as long as we've known each other (just passed 6 years!), but we have played little and released less since becoming parents 4 years ago.

We are pleased to present to you a song born and begun 5 years ago. We release it into the world that it may bring all who hear it into their hearts and into the world with health in hand.

"Into This Ocean" is born this auspicious August 8, 2023

lyrics

I am the water
watch where I flow
I am the fire
becoming smoke
I am the mountain
alive inside
I am the lived
I am the died

I am the healthy
I am the diseased
I am the wealthy
and the beggar on bended knee
I am the flower
I am the fruit
I am virtue's seed
and evil's root

I am out of control
believe it or not
I am shivering shaking
I am the wounded Earth quaking

I remember the water
knowing where to go
these tears are falling
into this ocean
these tears are falling
no strength for hope
I remember the water

I am out of control
believe it or not
I am shivering shaking
I am the wounded Earth quaking

These ears are listening
These lips are waiting
This voice is ready
though it is quaking
this heart is brittle
ready for breaking
I remember the water
please bring the water
pour on the water
please bring the water
pour on the water
please pour on the water
this poor soul's on fire
pour on the water
pour on the water
please bring the water
pour on the water
pour on the water

We are the water
right from the spring
dancing with the fire
healing everything
and the voices are full of sighs
we are the lived
we are the lived
we are the lived

We are Alive
