Johnny Clegg – Oceanearth Lyrics

Oceanearth:
Verse 1:
Standing in the hills, below the valley lies,
Watching the last rays as the sun dies,
I got mud on my boots, sweat in my eyes,
I`m standing on the earth under African skies

Chorus 1:
I said..Yela(sp?)
Earth giving life
Yela.. earth gimme life
I said..Yela
Earth giving life
Yela.. earth gimme life

Verse 2:
Dive into the ocean and find a dead zone,
The coral and the starfish white as a bone,
I feel the Ocean's` heartbeat slowing down,
And when it stops....
The whole world drowns,

Chorus 2:
I said..Yela
Ocean giving life
Yela.. ocean gimme life
I said..Yela
Ocean giving life
Yela.. ocean gimme life

Verse 3:
All life it seems is running out of space,
In the chain of the living where is my place,
I got money on the brain... a dead food chain,
And the morning sun... on a desert plain,

Bridge (guitar solo)

Chorus 2: (repeat twice)
I said..Yela
Ocean giving life
Yela.. ocean gimme life
I said..Yela
Ocean giving life
Yela.. ocean gimme life

I am the ocean...(gimme life)
I am the earth...(gimme life)
I am the ocean...(gimme life)
I am the earth...(gimme life)
