China Sea/Notes For John

You wake up alone on the China Sea
Watch for the light there that you may see
See the world rise with the sun
You are free

The town and the country come into view
A part of the world that you won't undo
So you reach out hold me tight
Close to you

One foot in the sand will release the flame
You know how it is now to stop the pain
Because your home and this world
They are the same

You wake up alone on the China Sea
Watch for the light there that you may see
See the world rise with the sun
You are free
