lyrics

you've been swimming long
against the ocean tide
i've been waiting for u
i've been searching far and wide
i wish i could see u face to face
and i wish i could ask
all these questions i can't say
i know where to find u there's a place
and these spirits follow me all along the way

the closer to the ocean
and the saltier the wave
the sweeter is the coconut
is what my mother says
you can taste the ocean when your
mouth is full of tears
my spirit's been in bamban
kept safe for all these years

fragments of us missing
scattered all across the globe
many of them out there still
many still don't know
there's many people out there
with my blood running through their veins
they all have different parents
and they all have different names
you've been searching for me all your life
you've been making circles
making circles in the sky
