Here among the mangrove waters
where my eyes first felt the sun
and all the waves of life swept over
as I breathed a deep, deep love

This was that shallow
and simple home
where these roots
sunk in to the soul

It's an ever-present memory
that fills my life and an open sea
Still it ripples ever true
with all I have and all I knew

I swim out slow to that horizon
The sun is rising overhead
I take what I can into the dawn
passing by this watershed
