ARMS TO THE SEA – LYRICS
Copyright ©2023 Annette Conlon

If I were a bee
I’d wish to be free.
To suckle for hours
Devour the flowers.

But such is my fate.
To be stuck in a cage
And so, I will dream.

But I am just me.
I am just me.
Arms to the sea.
Arms to the sea.

If I were a tree
I’d dance in the clouds.
And whisper out loud
All my fears to the sun.

But such is my fate.
To be stuck in a cage
And so, I will dream.

But I am just me.
I am just me.
Arms to the sea.
Arms to the sea.

Inst break

If I were just free,
If I were just free,
To dream of the sunshine
The warm rays feel so fine.
The ocean a diamond
The gulf is all mine.
The sea birds are my friends.
Dolphins wonder where I’ve been.

But such is my fate.
To be stuck in a cage
And so, I will dream.

But I am just me.
I am just me.
Arms to the sea,
Arms to the sea,

Arms to the sea.
