about

Inspired by the Imax movie by the same title, this tune is enhanced by the stunning kora playing of Karamo Cissokho.

lyrics

THE LIVING SEA

The ocean is the mother of every land
From the Himalayan snow to the California sand
And the ocean gives the living what the living need
We are breathing with the ocean, with the living sea

Chorus:
Ooh, ooh, ooh, with the living sea
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, celebration
Ooh, ooh, ooh, with the living sea
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, celebrate

Everything is touched by the ocean’s reach
From the high mountain tops to the wind-blown beach
We are all island people surrounded by one sea
As the ocean gives the living what the living needs

[Chorus]

To the moon and to the stars, our rockets can soar
While the depths of the oceans have not yet been explored
There is wisdom, there is beauty, there is mystery
In the pulsing, rocking rhythm of the living sea

[Chorus]

The ancient salty sea flows within us all
The largest life is in the ocean down to the very small
Keep it vital, treat it kind, give it sanctity
All life is intertwined with the living sea

[Chorus]
