" Ocean Heart " Emma Carter

#originalsong #lyrics #ownbyemmacarter I was born beneath a silver sky Where the moon would kiss the restless tide Every wave would tell an story low Of the things the shore could never know Salted winds were speaking in my hair Pulling dreams like ships through empty air I learned young that quiet waters hide A thousand storms they never show outside I smiled like sunlight on the sea But darkness swam too deep in me And every blue horizon line Was just another place I couldn't find If you listen close when night begins You'll hear my soul beneath the wind Calling names the world forgot Keeping love that time could not I have an ocean heart Wide enough to break apart Soft as foam, wild as the dark Full of drowning little sparks You may see the surface shine But below are tears like endless tide I carry moons, I carry scars Inside my ocean heart There were days of golden sapphire light Birds would dance like freedom in my sight I would laugh with sun upon my face Like nothing broken lived inside this place Then the clouds came dressed in shades of gray Turning all my summer dreams away Rain fell hard like words I couldn't say And all my bright blue turned to hurricane Still I held the sinking pieces near Pearls are only born from hidden tears Even shattered shells along the sand Still glitter when they're touched by gentle hands So if my voice sounds far away It's because some ships don't stay And every promise thrown to sea Comes back as haunting melody I have an ocean heart Wide enough to break apart Soft as foam, wild as the dark Full of drowning little sparks You may see the surface shine But below are tears like endless tide I carry moons, I carry scars Inside my ocean heart Midnight paints the water black and gold That's the hour lonely truths unfold Stars look close enough for me to steal Yet none can mend the wounds I never heal I have loved like rivers love the sea Giving all and losing endlessly Watched my devotion wash against Cold cliffs that never leaned to understand Some hearts are harbors built for stay Mine is made for drift away A moving blue, a restless song A place where beautiful things don't last too long But don't mistake my waves for weakness I have learned from every deepness How to rise when storms arrive How to keep dead dreams alive Every sinking part of me Built a stronger hidden sea And every goodbye left a light Glowing under water in the night Yeah I got thunder in my bloodstream, calm in my eyes Everybody loves the blue but never asks why Never saw the shipwreck sleeping under my smile Never counted all the lonely miles I was giving like rain, they were taking like sand Slipping through my fingers, never trying to understand Now I move with the moon, not the noise, not the crowd Silent waves still crashing loud Built from heartbreak, built from foam Built from every place that wasn't home You can leave, but echoes start Nothing leaves an ocean heart Ooh... The deeper you go, the darker the blue The darker the blue, the stronger the truth And somewhere below where no one can see The sea keeps the lost parts of me... I have an ocean heart Too immense for fragile arms Filled with sunsets, filled with scars Filled with vanished shooting stars Touch the waves and think you know But my deepest world is far below I keep love even when it departs Inside my ocean heart I have an ocean heart Still beating through the salt and dark, Still singing when the whole world parts This endless ocean heart... When the morning meets the sea again I'll still dance with light and wind For some souls are made of water's art Forever an ocean heart...
