Elizabeth Never wishes for the things that she never had Spend her days devouring the ocean And watching power meters move for electricity Elizabeth Older than the hundred-year-old trees rooted here She lives for the sea Better than just living for some vain fantasy Elizabeth Never tries the memories of a herd of elephants Remembers only if it's absolutely necessary Never watches television Books ignite her imagination She lives for the sea Olden child of thoughtless hair Blown by the tides so free Blown by the tides so free She lives for the sea She lives for the sea Elizabeth Bedok is her heartbeat though she sighs upon her breath See the strength she draws in every movement Gyring around the human ocean She's stronger than its undercurrents She lives for the sea Olden child of thoughtless hair Blown by the tides so free Shaped in her beauty by the sea She lives for the sea And roots for the trees She climbs up their branches 'Til the rain comes Trembling by her way She lives for the sea She lives for the sea Elizabeth Wiser far beyond her years Her head is planted on firmly
