Oceania Lyrics by Björk

The Inner or Deep Part of an Animal or Plant Structure (Making of Medúlla)

2004

[Verse 1: Björk as "The Ocean"]
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

[Verse 2]
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, I am why
