One breath away from mother Oceania
                                  
Your nimble feet make prints in my sands
                      
You have done good for yourselves
                        
Since you left my wet embrace
           
And crawled ashore
                           
Every boy is a snake - is a lily
                          
Every pearl is a lynx - is a girl
                          
Sweet like harmony made into flesh
          
You dance by my side
        
Children sublime

                     
You show me continents
         
I see islands
                      
You count the centuries
           
I blink my eyes
                            
Hawks and sparrows race in my waters
                 
Stingrays are floating
            
Across the sky
                               
Little ones, my sons and my daughters
               
Your sweat is salty
      
I am why
   
I am why
   
I am why
            
Your sweat is salty
   
I am why
   
I am why
       
I am why
