Where The Ocean Is King

Born where the salt spray meets the red clay floor
Inheriting a rhythm from the ancestor shore
My shadow stretches long on the gold dust sand
A legacy written by a master's hand

Oh, to breathe the air where the ocean is king
To feel the heat of the Sun in everything
Bahia, you're the heartbeat in my very core
I found the home I wasn't looking for

The drums are talking in the valley tonight
Wrapped in the silver of the coastal light
No need for maps when the soul knows the way
No need for maps when the soul knows the way

We're dancing in the shadows of the holy day
Oh, to breathe the air where the ocean is king
To feel the heat of the Sun in everything
Bahia, you're the heartbeat in my very core

I found the home I wasn't looking for
Roots deep in the reef and the stone
In this light I am never alone
The salt in the rhythm, the breath in the lungs

A story told in a thousand tongues
The Sun goes down, but the heat remains
Bahia, my blood, my veins
