An enigma of genes
Loaded with thousand hopes and dreams
The asymptote gets nearer
But where to go and what to see
When stemming from the sea
When coming out of the sea

On a flood of questions you reached the shore
Seeing the roads, where do they lead
And what are you heading for
Where to dig to unravel your seeds
When stemming from the sea
When leaving behind the sea

It’s not some mystified truth to be found
A simple handshake will do
Or an inch wide sacred ground
The soil that always has welcomed you
When stemming from the sea
When overseeing the sea

I’m sure you will find your way on shore now
Crossing rivers and inland seas
Travelling the lands I’ve never seen
No undertow pulls you down
I taught you to swim

Upstream
