Rolling in, rolling out,

breath of the earth,

heart of the earth.

From your depths 

life first emerged,

and in your waters

is life still unseen.

You were there

before we existed,

and you will be there

after we are gone.

Rolling in, rolling out,

breath of the earth,

heart of the earth.

Calm and peaceful,

violent and rough,

serene and flat,

white-tipped and choppy,

murky and sandy,

clear and blue.

Breath of the earth

heart of the earth.
