Ocean
The slight breeze ruffled through my hair,
I walked into the water with my feet bare
I could see the sun rising, far far away
I think its going to be a great day today
I could hear the splashing waves go in different ways
I could feel the burning sun shining with a blaze.
I thought of the First Fleet who arrived at Botany Bay
I thought of all the convicts who chose their own way
I thought of captain cook who tried so ever so hard
I thought of all the constellations he might have ever starred.
I think of all the sea creatures that might swim around in the sea
The dolphins sing their song, I think they call me.
