you hunted down every danger

    F                 Bb      F
the shores, they were mighty scary.

there's something so strange about human nature,

          Am          Bb               C
we get so used to the gifts that we receive.

for a love bigger than the ocean.

i dreamt you were down by the water.

              Am        Bb            F
you looked so proud and happy to see me.

                          Bb            F
you were laying down some kind of red carpet on the beach.

        Am           Bb              C
i said, mom, i'm not sure what this means.

          Bb
it was an invitation

to a love bigger than the ocean.

F              Bb               F
now, we've got children of our own.

             Am       Bb              F
we dive back into the waters we have known.

                       Bb                F
as you loved us, we'll love them to the brim.
