Deep in the silt where the salt water bleeds The Mangrove is planting the strength that it needs Interlocked fingers, a subterranean hand Keeping them bound to the unforgiving sand If they stood all alone, they’d be easy to find But they’d snap in the gale and be left far behind They weather the storm because they’re woven as one The battle is won before the wind has begun.
'Cause no man can claim all the light of success Or take the full blame for an insurmountable mess We gotta give for the sake of the spirit within And love like a brother through the thick and the thin Stand together, locked in the flow It’s the only way any of us truly grow.
Down in the deep where the blue turns to gray The Coral is building a fortress today A city of bone, a cathedral of stone A living resistance that’s never alone Working in harmony, an ebullient chorus Building a shield, Resilient and steady as the waves c***h above A fortress of grit and a palace of love.
We look to the wild to find a new way To f***t the "Me" nature we face every day The urge to go solo, the hunger for fame Until we’re overthrown and we forget our own name But the roots and the reefs understand That nobody survives on a one-man island.
Cause no man can claim all the light of success Or take the full blame for an insurmountable mess We gotta give for the sake of the spirit within And love like a brother through the thick and the thin.
