Behold The SeaBehold the sea, the mighty restless sea!Behold the strand of battered rock and sand! The endless fight between the sea and man! Behold the sea! Through wind and storm the foaming breakers roar What of the man who waits upon the shore? What of the man you hold forevermore? Behold the sea! Rolling along in the starlight Restless, plentiful and strong Rolling along in the moonlight Surf and spray shining in the sun Behold the sea, the mighty restless sea! Behold the strand of battered rock and sand! The endless fight between the sea and man! Behold the sea! | Simple ThingsDaybreak, and here am IStarbound against the sky Have you ever watched a blossom fall Or heard a Robin call and wondered why?
