[Verse 1]
Children, where have you been?
Children, where have you been?
On the beaches they frequent catch
Few more fish from out of the sea
Just few more from out of the sea
And your head so red, your head getting reddy
Sea so rough, so rough, boat's rocky-rocky
Current so strong, current so strong
You could [?]

[Chorus]
Be careful how you walk, be careful how you walk
A them ya fisherman about, a them ya fisherman about
Believe the ocean and come, believe the ocean and come
Believe the ocean and come, believe the ocean and come
I no hate you, hate you, I no hate you, hate you
No, I don't hate no one, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love
That's why I gots to say
Believe the ocean and come, believe the ocean and come
Believe the ocean and come, believe the ocean and come

[Verse 2]
All night at sea, all night at sea
By through were finding a way
And your lamp get so dim that even [?]
That's why I got to say to you, to you, to you, to you

[Chorus]
Believe the ocean and come, believe the ocean and come
Believe the ocean and come, come on
Believe the ocean, believe
Believe the ocean and come, believe the ocean and come

[Outro]
Children, where have you been?
On the beach to say fi good catch
Few more fish from out of the sea
The sea so rough, so rough
Boat's rocky-rocky too side
Current so strong, so strong
The ocean a call, believe the ocean and come
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Believe the ocean and come
