lyrics

OCEAN FLOW

Seventy percent of the planet is the sea
It’s the reason for all life, the reason life can be
It’s all one ocean, so let’s step into the flow
Talking ‘bout the ocean, what else do you know?

Ninety percent of the air that we take in
Made by floating ocean plankton producing oxygen
So you see it’s clear, it’s clear as night and day
Life depends upon the ocean, what more can I say

Chorus 1:
Ocean red sky in the morning
Ocean red sky at night
Ocean all sailors take a warning
The ocean is the reason for Earth’s delight

Bridge 1:
Ocean, ocean, here we go
Rising high or deep below
Now it’s time to ocean flow
We're talking ‘bout the ocean, what else do you know?

The mid-Atlantic ridge is the longest mountain range
It’s all volcanic so it’s constantly in change
Eight thousand miles of spreading ocean floor
Now how about that fact! Do ya want one more?

Eighty percent of the planet’s life resides
In an ocean ecosystem rise and fall with the tides
Weigh them all together – over a 100 million tons
Now that’s a good fact just for fun

[Chorus 1]
[Bridge 1]

On the big Hawai’ian island, you can find the Mauna Kea
It’s the biggest mountain known in the world today
A giant volcano, ocean floor to snowy top
Over five miles high. Will these facts ever stop?

The largest life in the ocean is the great blue whale,
110 feet from the nose to tail
With grace and with power, it makes a final blow
Then it holds its breath an hour. What a good fact to know!

[Chorus 1]
[Bridge 1]

Fifty feet long, twenty-six-thousand pounds,
a four-foot-wide mouth, it’s the biggest fish around
but plankton’s what it eats, so it filter feeds
Those are whale shark facts that you might need.

Hey, here's one more fact, then you're on your own
The knowledge about the ocean has steadily grown
The ocean is the reason why life can be
All life is connected by one sea

Chorus 2:
Ocean red sky in the morning
Ocean red sky at night
Ocean all sailors take a warning
The ocean is the reason for Earth’s delight
Ocean keeps the cycle turning
Ocean deeper than light
Ocean all sailors keep a yearning
For the feel of the salt spray, foam in flight
Ocean red sky in the morning
Ocean red sky at night
Ocean all sailors take a warning
It will do us all good to treat the ocean right

Bridge 2:
Ocean, ocean, here we go
Find some facts that you want to know
Write a little verse and we’ll put it in the show
Everybody join the ocean flow

[Bridge 1]
