Mighty Oceans
Theme: Letting Go
There is much we can no longer control on our living planet. Sea level rise from thermal expansion of hotter oceans and the global melting of ice will almost inevitably continue for some hundreds of years. But it will not be nice and smooth; it will rise with unexpected and rapid pulses. It is time to relinquish the story of human technological mastery of oceans and find a new humility as we seek to live with rising oceans.

Mighty Oceans
Drop D Capo 2
The mighty oceans they are rising
The mighty oceans they are coming
The mighty oceans they are rising
The mighty oceans they are coming
To a town near you on a coastal shore
An estuary and a city walk
The homes we built near an ocean beach
To the lives we live seaside retreat
The mighty oceans they are rising
The mighty oceans they are coming
The mighty oceans they are rising
The mighty oceans they are coming
They will not stop they will not sleep
Keep coming on from the deep
They won't hold back as they rise
They cannot hear our warning cry
They're not our friend They're won't be still
We cannot halt them with our will
We will try to stem the tide
We’ve not much time on our side
