The ocean is wide, the tides run deep
How did you build this wall
What you kept inside was once part of us
For so long
But rocks, they tumble down and grind to sand
Did you forget as you built your wall
And what you keep inside is a part of us
Still holding on
The ocean is wide, the tides run deep
And your wall has turend to sand
And what you kept inside has washed up on shore
After so long
It's been so long
The ocean is wide, the tides run deep
How did you build this wall
What you kept inside was once part of us
For so long
But rocks, they tumble down and grind to sand
Did you forget as you built your wall
And what you keep inside is a part of us
Still holding on
The ocean is wide, the tides run deep
And your wall has turend to sand
And what you kept inside has washed up on shore
After so long
It's been so long
