about
Fish perceive and navigate the world by hearing and sensing water movement across their bodies – once, long ago, so did we.
lyrics
I can touch you from a distance
I can feel your state of mind
When you move I feel the pressure
As our bodies turn and glide
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, oh
It has been like this for eons
Peering out through lidless eyes
I can chart my destination
With my body and my mind
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, oh
Can you imagine navigating with sound
Your body and mind as a compass
Pointing you homeward bound?
All life’s chords, they can show you the way
A melody map you touch with your mind
Your guide beneath the waves
When I move, I can move you
Like a team, we move as one
I can feel you in the darkness
Or beneath the shining sun
We will reach our destination
While the waves around us pound
My body is an eardrum
And I lay the course with sound
My body is an eardrum
And I lay the course with sound
Above the crashing surf
In the air it’s different now
We’ve lost our ancient compass
A melody disavowed
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, oh
Can you reach me from a distance
As we stand on solid ground?
We will only bridge this difference
When the harmony is found
