Ocean Child
Lyrics by Paul Winter, 'Ocean Dream,' from the album 'Common ground.' Music & adaptation by Shimshai
Ocean child, come now home
Holy wonder, Holy One
Ancient song, call me home
Ave Maris, Ave Om
Born on the sound of the sea in my blood
Washed in the waters that carried me home
Filled with the glow of the light from thy spirit
La da da...
Let me flow without time, let me rise from my sleep
Let me see in the light, let me sound in the deep
Let me soar in the silence, of the ancient voice
I am Sea, let me flow in your Spirit
I am Sun, let me rise in your morning
I am Moon, let me turn in your sky
I am One, Ave Om
Born on the sound...
Come now Home
Come now Home
(Let me soar in the silence...)
A song I grew up listening to on vinyl, and Paul Winter was one of the original New Age artists in the 70's. The original version features humpback whales singing along with a very floaty, dreamy soundscape. A bit cheesy perhaps but something about the song always moved me and so after years of singing it casually and developing my own version I decided to put it out there officially. Someone thought at one point I was actually singing a song to myself...(Oh Shimshai, come now home!)
