Child of the Water - Chantal Kreviazuk

We are the pointed end of stars

We cut a hole in the dark

Sing so high we built the sky

And with the tears we cry

We filled the sea of life

Let the water breathe

Down, down beneath

And let no one be afraid

Here where love remains

And here a bird cannot be lost

The mermaids perched upon the rocks

And everywhere is home

My food and my clothes

The shells around her neck

And the seaweed are her locks

Let the water breathe

Down, down beneath

And let no one be afraid

Here where love remains

And tell them that I’m still alive

And that birds, they never really die

Forever, it’s a forever flight

And that sorry can be said with a smile

See his reflections everywhere

In the water, the fire, the earth, the sky

Hear his voice in the wind

A heart so rare

A heart so rare

Let the water breathe

Down, down beneath

And let no one be afraid

Here where love remains

Let the water breathe

Down, down beneath

And let no one be afraid

Here where love remains
