Because We Have To

Gm            Fm6    Ebm6                Gm 
A calm sea awaits, blue skies and sun 
Cm             A#               Am         Gm 
Inviting and smiling and dancing around 

The wind pushes north, through the straits, towards the clouds 
The sun rests her head on the water around 
By morning, our voices will sink with their shells 

Her belly exposed, up towards the sun 
Lays hindered and splintered and makes not a sound 

Ahead of her bow, a doll chain takes form 
Of women and children that someone adored 
In a last dance, hand in hand, they float all around
