If I could have chosen where God would hide his heaven

I'd wish for it to be

In the salt and swell of the ocean

Carried by the currents to all continents' shores

Reaching into depths

Where the sun's light has never shown

Mixed with algae and coral

Breathed in by sharks and dolphins

Sailed by tanker ships private yachts swam in by tourists

Working its way up through inlets lakes and rivers

Swamps and estuaries

Down through limestone into the aquifer

Purified by the county

Pumped through pipes and out faucets

Filled into a glass to meet the thirst of our children

And if I could have chosen

I would have been born a woman

My mother once told me

She would have named me Laura

I'd grow up to be strong and beautiful like her

One day I'd find an honest man to make my husband

We would have two children

Build our home on the Gulf of Mexico

Our family would spend hot summer

Days at the beach together

The sun would kiss our skin

As we played in the sand and water

And we would know we loved

Each other without having to say it

At night we would sleep

With the windows of our house left open

Letting the cool ocean air soothe

The sunburned shoulders of our children

There is an ocean in my soul

Where the waters do not curve

There is an ocean in my soul

Where the waters do not curve

There is an ocean in my soul

Where the waters do not curve

There is an ocean in my soul

Where the waters do not curve
