"The Ocean" by Brenna, age 11

Brenna from Durango, Colorado sent in the lyrics to this thoughtful song. Don't you just love the image of the stowaway in the opening lines, and the rhythm of the chorus? Keep up the good work, Brenna!

The Ocean

You tend
To stray
From what you used to be
You stowed
Away
On the ship to becoming nobody
I know
Deep down
The real you is waiting to prevail
When will you set sail?
The Ocean
The Ocean
The Ocean of possibilities
The Island
The Island
The Island of opportunity
As far as the eye can reach
How far 'till the nearest beach?
The Ocean
The Ocean
The Ocean of possibilities
The Island
The Island
The Island of opportunity

Take a chance dive right in
Feel the warmth of the water on your skin
Paddle out to the Island way out there
Let the wind mess with your hair
The Ocean
The Ocean
The Ocean of possibilities
The Island
The Island
The Island of opportunity

I miss
The real you
The you that had a truly special spark
Out there
For miles
That's the journey you need to embark
When will you set sail?
The Ocean
The Ocean
The Ocean of possibilities
The Island
The Island
The Island of opportunity
As far as the eye can reach
How far 'till the nearest beach?
The Ocean
The Ocean
The Ocean of possibilities
The Island
The Island
The Island of opportunity
Take a chance--dive right in
