Count Basic - 4 Oceans lyrics

From the cradle to the grave

Happiness is what we're searching for

But in fact all we gain

is an endless chain of pain

Oh why, why don't we realize

Throughout your lives you shed more tears

Than there's water in the four oceans

In all those years your only chance

Is your faith, your love and devotion

Oh why, why don't we realize

On and on, right or wrong

The big wheel of life keeps on turning

What we do here and now

Will bear fruit in lives to come

Oh lord if only we came to see that

Just open your eyes and see

What's going on

And take the first step to be

Light and free

As free as you hoped to be
