Lyrics Mother - Sleeping At Last

Love bigger than the ocean
Is what you've given to me
You hunted down every danger
So my brother and I could swim free
In a love bigger than the ocean

The shores, they were mighty scary
But at my back, I had the mighty sea
There's something so strange about human nature
We get so used to the gifts that we receive
Now I'm more than grateful
For a love bigger than the ocean

I dreamt you were down by the water
You looked so proud and happy to see me
You were laying down some kind of red carpet on the beach
I said, "Mom, I'm not sure what this means"
It was an invitation
To a love bigger than the ocean

Now, we've got children of our own
We dive back into the waters we have known
As you loved us, we'll love them to the brim
Because of you, they already know how to swim
In a love bigger than
A love deeper than the ocean

I still have so much I want to tell you
I still have so much to figure out
There's so much of you in every reflection of my life
I hope you know, I couldn't be more proud
Of this life swimming in a love deeper than the ocean
