I am almost certain that this song is about how alive one seems to feel out in nature.
WALK ON THE OCEAN --- literally
Step on the Stones --- literally
Flesh becomes water --- metaphorically
Wood becomes bone --- metaphorically, (but also somewhat literally----because on a molecular level, we need the oxygen that photosynthetic organisms produce... we are very much intertwined with the world around us, like trees, water, etc...)
Anyway... the song is about the feeling of being alive during a certain time and place when the natural world/universe was experienced, felt, and remembered.
