Chorus: You are the rolling ocean You are the mighty sea You are the breath that brings each new day to me You are what you are, you are You be what you are, you be what you are Some came to conquer Some came to understand Some came to live their lives as best they can Me, i looked up at the stars to find my way But i was young and i got them mixed up And so forgot my name As i tried to remember you were standing next to me While other came seeking power You, you had come to set them free Chorus Women of salt and earth They tell the same story They saw you walking wounded Wearing rags of glory And when you rejoiced they saw you smiling at your rejoicing When you wept they saw you smiling at your weeping When you smiled they saw you smiling at your smiling And you said "that's the way i've survived these years of dust and Blood." Chorus Suffer little children Suffer sister, brother too Suffer mother, father That's all the world can promise you In our hearts we feel it A mighty dream is coming true Hold on and we'll dream it Keep it up we're going to push it through Don't give it up, don't give it up
