Ocean Between Us

Intro

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

Grandma's voice across the ocean tide

Salt in the air and love in her eyes

She gathered us close like the waves do the shore

Told us the stories our ancestors wore

Pre-Chorus

Alofa my children

The moon knows your name

Carry the fire

The stars burn the same

Chorus

Alofa my children

Alofa my children

Ocean between us

But love holds the distance

Alofa my children

Alofa my children

Sing it together

We're never alone

Verse 2

Morning chant and the coconut drum

Weaving the baskets till the evening comes

Her hands taught mine how to hold on tight

Even when the sky turns black at night

Pre-Chorus

Alofa my children

The reef knows your way

Follow the current

The sun meets the bay

Chorus

Alofa my children

Alofa my children

Ocean between us

But love holds the distance

Alofa my children

Alofa my children

Sing it together

We're never alone

Bridge

Across the islands we carry her song

Rising up steady when the nights get long

Hand in hand through the wind and rain

The love comes back again and again

Chorus

Alofa my children

Alofa my children

Ocean between us

But love holds the distance

Alofa my children

Alofa my children

Sing it together

We're never alone
