A song I heard the ocean sing
A shining light in darkness deep
I prayed a prayer into the tide
and both they soothed me in my sleep

For every season that has passed
I prayed a prayer into the tide
A shining light in darkness deep
In my ten years before the mast

For every season that has passed
I laid my body o’er the side
A shining light in darkness deep
I prayed a prayer into the tide

How can I answer questions I’ve known?
How can I answer questions I’ve known?
How can I answer questions I’ve known?
How can I answer questions I’ve known?

A song I heard the ocean sing
A shining light in darkness deep
Ten years before the mast
I heard the ocean sing

    General Comment:It's about the same guy they wrote Moma Dance about...I forget his name but at the last Mansfield show Trey talked about it a little before they played it
