Lyrics
WHEN WE BECOME THE SEA
By John Neil Martin and Lynda Dobbin-Turner
V1
Have you ever watched a river flowing
It knows exactly where it's meant to be
It doesn't care which way the wind is blowing
It already knows its destiny
Pre: Chorus
It always does just what it must
To keep on pushing through
When I think about it
I think of me and you
Chorus:
We're just like two drops of water
Caught up in life's flow
Exactly in the moment we should be
Bouncing, splashing moving forward
Learning as we go
Just how big our lives are gonna be
When we become the sea
V2
The river only flows in one direction
It trusts the bends and curves along the way
It understands that life is not perfection
But flowing waters never meant to stay
Pre: Chorus
It always does just what it must
To keep on pushing through
When I think about it
It's just like me and you
Chorus:
We're just like two drops of water
Caught up in life's flow
We're exactly in the moment we should be
Bouncing, splashing moving forward
Learning as we grow
Just how big our lives are gonna be
When we become the sea
When we become the sea
