Song of the Sea

Picture of me on your color tv
 Betty's holding the helm
 Skins are salty with the breeze
 Gotta look
 When you open those books
 I dream of the sea
 Big ships is meant for
 Maybe I'm meant for the sea
 It's there swinging from my family tree
 Starting to breathe so heavily
 Grandpa's telling me of
 His days in the navy
 I was alive
 For a moment, you see
 It was there when I woke
 It was there when I would
 Maybe I'm meant for the sea
 It's there swinging from my family tree
 Maybe I'm meant for the sea
 Grandpa Albert had it made for me
 Maybe I'm meant for the sea
 We pass it by so passively
 And all that's said is what we know
 We'll watch it come
 We'll watch it go
 And underneath it's plain to see
 That we're not meant for history
 Maybe I'm meant for the sea
 It's there swinging from my family tree
 Maybe I'm meant for the sea
 Grandpa Albert had it made for me
