lyrics

Chorus:
*Only one ocean… only one ocean *(audience call and response)
Only one ocean… only one ocean
Only one ocean… only one ocean
Only one ocean… only one ocean

It’s only one ocean, only one sea
The ocean is the reason that life can be
It’s only one ocean, wherever you stand
Look around and see how it shapes the land

All life’s formed in the ocean
It’s the reason we can breathe the air
Plankton plants make oxygen
And send it to the atmosphere

The highest peak is in the ocean
The deepest trench is just off-shore
Wherever you walk, you can find some rock
Of the ancient ocean floor

[Chorus]

Its only one ocean, only one sea
The ocean holds life's diversity
It’s only one ocean, wherever you go
The ocean is the reason for the wind and snow
All these ecosystems
A living soup of salty sea
Life adapts to its habitats
So many forms and varieties
It turns the global current
Of wind and rain and air
It’s a big ole' weather machine
Spinning energy everywhere

[Chorus]

It’s only one ocean, only one sea
It ties us all together, you to me
Its only one ocean, shore to shore
There's so much more yet to explore
All life in common needs the water
It’s in our blood and our history
Our food and inspiration come
From this gift of timeless sea
Put your mask and snorkel on
Let’s explore as we descend
For science here is the last frontier
What we all must comprehend

[Chorus]

Only one ocean, only one sea
Let's give the ocean sanctity
It’s only one ocean, that's all we've got
Without it things would get pretty hot.

The Indian Ocean
Pacific Ocean
Atlantic Ocean
There all connected
We got one ocean
Around the globe
Blue Blue Planet
Yeah
Only one ocean
Gotta care for the ocean
Gotta love the ocean
