I heard you were looking for a reason to survive
In a bucket list that's never seen the sun
I heard you bruised your bare heart only to find
In a sea of nods you only needed one
Don't trade your soul for a paper crown
When there's a lot of dreams to go around
Can't you see our hearts are free
We are the children of the sea
Subtle in our faith, like tears in snow
We were lost a long long time ago
I heard you laughed and laughed until you cried
When your lover said that the earth was never round
And you wondered at the moment if your soul had died
When you wanted more but you just fooled around
If she called you, would you even hear?
You're out there somewhere in the atmosphere
Can't you see our hearts are free
We are the children of the sea
Subtle in our faith, like tears in snow
We were lost a long long time ago
Our broken promises were not in vain
We were honest we just could not complain
We were lost and we are not anymore
We were lost a long long time ago
