Thalassa platia
(Deep And Silent Sea)
Deep and silent sea,
Close to you I feel protected
You are so like me
In your face I am reflected
Tell me what to do
For you know so well
My soul is restless too

Touching every shore
You belong to no one ever
Let the tempest roar
You remain and dwell forever
Secret are your ways
Do you wonder that I'd love you
All my days

You can be unkind
Where the children play
And you drown their castles in the tide
They don't seem to mind
For they run to you and
Their arms are open wide

Teach me to be free
To be sure and strong and sea-like
Deep and shining sea
You are what I long to be like
Let the world go by
I will love you till
The silent sea runs dry
