lyrics

Verse 1
We've trashed the ocean with old bottles of beer
Aluminum cans are floating everywhere
This fish wants to breathe but some strange object is in the way
There's a stingray trying to fly but by pollution it will die

Pre-chorus
I love the ocean, the freshness sweet
It makes my world so complete
I love the ocean, the deep blue sea
Bringing out the best in me

Chorus
When you sparkle
In the moonlight
Sparkle

Verse 2
Can't get enough of the sight and the scent of all of the beauty in front of my eyes
The deep green of the forest, the warm grey of the sky (the Auckland sky)
I can't swim without water; I can't breathe without air
I can't cook without fire; thank god the earth is with me everywhere

Pre-chorus
Chorus
(In the city by the harbour lights)

Bridge
I'm diving into you, my friend

Chorus
Verse 3
I'm hearing you call me, in all the beauty I see
Far away from the city, in a place of tranquility
I'm going to love you forever; I want to know that you're there
I want to protect you from the harm that comes from everywhere
