[Verse 1]
Oh, I'd like to be a ship
That's forever
Forever lost at sea
Yes, I'd like to be a ship
That's forever
Forever lost at sea
I'd rest in the ocean's arms
Let the water
Capture me

[Verse 2]
And I'd like to be a tree
That's forever
Forever in the ground
Yes, I'd like to be a tree
That's forever
Forever in the ground
My roots would lie deep in the earth
She would be my heart

[Verse 3]
And I'd like to be a bird
That's forever
Forever flying
Yes I'd like to be a bird
That's forever
Forever flying
I'd feel the air and turn my wings
I'd breathe it
In through me
[Refrain]
The ocean calls her children home
The river longs to be free

[Verse 4]
And I'd like to be a star
That forever
Forever burns
Yes, I'd like to be a star
That forever
Forever burns
The light of life would run through me
The fire would be my blood

[Refrain]
The ocean calls her children home
Home
