lyrics

VERSE 1:

Listen your heart is talking to you
Pay attention let it guide the things you do
Every action should make it clear
That the world cannot drown you
In an ocean of tears

If you don’t live a life that’s sincere
Then the world’s gonna drown you
In an ocean of tears

And If you can’t see the joy and you sink into fear
Then the world’s gonna drown you
In an ocean of tears

VERSE 2:

Look at the faces of the people you meet
What does your heart say, is the smile they wear complete?
How they behave helps you to steer
Away from a world that’s an ocean of tears

In the end you must face your fears
Or the world’s gonna drown you
In an ocean of tears

Don’t let your mind override your heart
It loves solving problems, but it only sees small parts
Your heart knows the things that you hold dear
So you can stay afloat in an ocean of tears

If you only react when fate’s getting near
Then the world’s gonna drown you
In an ocean of tears

And if you turn away love and give into fear
Then the world’s gonna drown you
In an ocean of tears

VERSE 3:

Caution and trust they dance through this game
But love conquers all, it can heal the scars of war
Always be kind and always cheer
Then the world cannot drown you In an ocean of tears

Unless your heart is speaking clear
Then the world’s gonna drown you
In an ocean of tears

The coldest heart with a passionate mind
Is so confusing cos’ they always think they’re right
Good intentions and good ideas
They’ll never save you from sinking in an ocean of tears

Your heart’s gonna tell you when love is near
It can save you from drowning
In an ocean of tears

If you can’t find the courage to stand up to fear
Then the world’s gonna drown you
In an ocean of tears

No autotune - EVER!

You may notice I use lots of harmonies in vocal overdubs, but it is always just my voice with maybe some echo and a little bit of reverb!!!!!
