Pearls at Our Feet

It's a shame that today you feel like a servant
You say you've sacrificed your youth, but not for your sins
Just like big ancient rocks by the shore,
we've been on the same side for years
Unaware that the ocean was turning us into sand

May the wind, the salt, the sun dissolve our convictions
Maybe it's time to throw our nets into the deep
May we welcome the unknown to our beach, in spite of suspicions
Maybe then it leaves pearls at our feet

We grew up tired of hearing the same old saying
That "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"
But the sea level rises and
we flood ourselves with resentment year by year
Watching sailboats as they slide through the waves

May the wind, the salt, the sun dissolve our convictions
Maybe it's time to throw our nets into the deep
May we welcome the unknown to our beach, in spite of suspicions
Maybe then it leaves pearls at our feet

Only then we can make peace with the sea
