The Ocean

Listen to this song. And read it's lyrics. It's really sad.
It's meant for you.
And you know who you are.

by The Bravery

I climbed up a mountain, and looked off the edge
And all of the lives that I never have led
Is one where I stayed with you, across the sea
I wonder do you still think of me
I carry your image always in my head
Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge
And I've look upon it for so many years
Slowly I'm loosing your face

[chorus:]
Oh the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away

Sixes and sevens we live on jet planes
And so many faces I don't know the names
So many friends now and none of them mine
Forgotten as soon as we meet
All of these moments are lost in time
Your caught on my head like a thorn on a vine
To forever torment me that I wonder why
Do I wish I've never known you at all

[chorus x2]
Oh the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away

The sun and the moon
An ocean of air
So many voices
But nothing is there
The ghost of you asking me why
Why did I leave

[chorus]
Oh the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away

Oh the ocean rows us away away away
And I loose your hand through the waves

It's sad that people judge others by the colour of their skin, their backgrounds, the way they look. It's even more depressing when you find out that they make excuses for their bigotry because they know they're wrong. But it's agony when you're related to them and it's quite a bitter thing to call them family.


I'm gonna pray for you.

For us too but mainly for you.

So that one fine day, you stand up despite it hurting and you boldly hold your head up and walk out that door. You deserve much more than this.

I only hope you know that too.
