OCEAN IN THE CLOUDS (GROUNDED IN THE FIRE) [SONG] - DOG DAYS ARE OVER

Verse 1:
Feet on the ground,
More so when nobody to be found
Though sometimes I like to stick around
Need to be alone, figure out what’s really right and what’s wrong
Got my head in the clouds,
Swimming towards the stars, for what answers my universe hides afar

Pre-Chorus
Keep trying to find ourselves,
And we keep diving deeper into this Ocean in the Clouds

Chorus (x4)
(Got my) feet on the ground
(And my) head in the clouds
Fire burning in my heart
And an ocean of emotion

Post-Chorus:
An ocean of emotion
This ocean in the clouds

Verse 2:
Fire burning in my heart...
Keep it from tearing all I love apart
Sometimes I don’t know how to start
Ocean of emotion, dive into myself
Tranquility in my depths
Swimming towards nothing, accepting what may come

Pre-Chorus
Keep trying to find ourselves,
And we keep diving deeper into this Ocean in the Clouds, in the clouds

Chorus (x3)
Got my feet on the ground
And my head in the clouds
Fire burning in my heart
And an ocean of emotion

Post-Chorus:
An ocean of emotion
This ocean in the clouds

Interlude:
Hey, let’s switch it up! In 1,2,3,4...
Hey!

Bridge 1:
Look through the shards of your broken heart, (Keep that fire burning!)
Put ‘em all together, you’re a piece of art! (And that mind in the sky...)
Yell through the gales of your mind, (Keep swimming that ocean!)
A voice is what you’ll help others find (And your roots in the dirt...)
Know that it’s okay to feel, (Keep that heart burning!)
When you’re lost, don’t know what’s real (And that mind in the sky...)
Plant your feet into the ground, oh, (Keep swimming that ocean!)
Root down and you’ll be found. (And your roots in the dirt...)

Hey...

Post-Bridge:
Keep that heart burning!
And that mind in the sky...
Keep swimming that ocean!
And your roots in the dirt...

Chorus (x4)
(Got my) feet on the ground
(And my) head in the clouds
Fire burning in my heart
And an ocean of emotion

Bridge 2:
Ha! Sike! Just the beat. Ha, well, let’s just get to the point here. You ready?
Earth, air, fire, water, that’s what we’re made of
Feeling lost? Remember it’s Nature we came from
To those trying to reconnect, this the rhythm of our drum
(Earth!) Know, relearn your ancestry, the land you call home
Hurts asking what’s real, know you’re not alone
(Air!) In your lungs, find your voice and use it:
Speeches, poems, art, film, conversations, music
Winds of your thoughts inspires others do shit!
(Fire!) It can hurt when it burns deep in your heart,
Won’t kill you accept you feel it, that’s how you start!
Find what you love, don’t let it fall apart!
(Water!) Can feel like you’re drowning under depths of emotion
Those moments you swim against the flow of oceans:
Let your moons control and shift your tides and their motion!

Post-Bridge/Outro:
Look through the shards of your broken heart,
Put ‘em all together, you’re a piece of art!
Yell through the gales of your mind,
A voice is what you’ll help others find
Know that it’s okay to feel,
When you’re lost, don’t know what’s real
Plant your feet into the ground, oh,
Root down and you’ll be found.

(This Ocean in the Clouds...)
