"Oceania" lyrics - BJORK

One breath away from Mother Oceania
Your nimble feet make prints in my sand

You have done good for yourselves
Since you left my wept embrace and crawled ashore

Every boy is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx is a girl

Sweet like harmony made into flesh
You dance by my side
Children sublime

You show me continents
I see the islands
You count the centuries
I blink my eyes

Hawks and sparrows race in my waters
Stingrays are floating across the sky

Little ones
My sons and my daughters
Your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why
