A
To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean,
A7 D6
to ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
A
To work in the service of life and living,
A7 D6
in search of the answers of questions unknown
A
To be part of the movement an part of the growing,
A7
part of beginning to unserstand,
[chorus]

A
Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
A7 D6
To light up the darkness and show us the way
A
For though we are strangers in your silent world
A7 D6
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
A
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell
A7
Joyful and loving in letting it be
Repeat [chorus]
