Lyrics

Verse

Lost, I drift in my mind, up high like a cloud

View from the sky, collectin’ rain, feelin’ proud

Wind push me ‘round to where the earth needs me most

Carry shade from the burnin’ sun, rain for the coast

Hopin’ to nourish life, help the green fields grow

But sometimes I dump it all on the ocean below

Spillin’ my cargo on a thankless sea

Greed down there mufflin’ the truth from me

False lives chasin’ wants, drownin’ out the real

Lost at sea, hurt and alone, yeah that’s the deal

Chorus

I must be a cloud, driftin’ sad and blue

But with courage I change, become somethin’ new

Now I’m the ocean, power in my waves

Mighty wave of knowledge, crashin’ to save

Carry protection, food, rain for all to survive

Make ’em listen close—yo, feel alive!

Verse

Shape the land how I see, mold it with my flow

One wave hits the shore, moves grains real slow

Thought I’d change the world, but nothin’ seems to shift

Stuck on the beach, feelin’ the rift

Wave after wave push me year after year

Sunset after sunset, tide bringin’ tears

Waitin’ on the sand, time tickin’ by

Find peace in my mind under that big sky

I was nothin’ without clouds feedin’ the dirt

Ocean carryin’ waves, sun warmin’ the hurt

Rain to feed me, wind to teach the way

Without ‘em all, I wouldn’t be here today

Bridge

Learn to share, give when the world’s ready for you

Purpose might be simple—ride the waves, enjoy the view

Drift in the clouds, soak up them golden sunsets

We all part of everything, no regrets

Outro

Yeah, from cloud to wave, wave to shore we ride

Connected in the cycle, let it be your guide

Enjoy the drift, y’all— that’s the truth inside

We all one big ocean… forever tied.
