Johnny Clegg - Oceanearth lyrics

Standing in the hills below the valley lies
Watchin' the last rays as the sun dies

I got mud on my boots sweat in my eyes
I'm standing on the Earth
Under African skies



I say yela earth, give me life
Yela earth, give me life

I say yela earth,  give me life
Yela earth,  give me life







Dive into the ocean and find a dead zone
The coral and the starfish white as a bone

I feel the ocean's heartbeat slowing down
And when it stops the whole world drowns



I say yela ocean, give me life
Yela ocean, give me life

I say yela ocean, give me life
Yela ocean, give me life



Humm humm

All life, it seems is running out of space
In the chain of the living
Where is my place?

I got money on the brain a dead food chain
And the morning sun on a desert plane


Yela ocean, give me life
Yela ocean, give me life


I say yela ocean, give me life
Yela ocean, give me life

Yela ocean, give me life
Yela ocean, give me life


I say yela ocean, give me life
Yela ocean, give me life


I am the ocean (Give me life)
I am the Earth (Give me life)


I am the ocean (Give me life)
I am the Earth (Give me life)


Humm

(Give me life)

Humm (Give me life)

Humm (Give me life)
Humm (Give me life)

Humm (Give mm mm)
Humm (Mm mm)
Mm
