Lyrics:
One breath awayfrom Mother Oceaniayour nimble feet make printsin my sandYou have donegood for yourselvessince you left my wet embraceand crawled ashoreEvery boy is a snake is a lilyEvery pearl is a lynx is a girlSweet like harmonymade into fleshyou dance by my sidechildren sublimeYou show me continentsI see the islandsYou count the centuriesI blink my eyesHawks and sparrowsrace in my watersstingrays are floatingacross the skyLittle onesmy sons and my daughtersyour sweat is saltyI am whyI am whyI am whyyour sweat is saltyI am whyI am whyI am why
