What'll the tide bring in? What'll the tide bring in?
Driftwood sticks and seaweed fronds
Mangrove seeds and seashell rings
What'll the tide bring in? What'll the tide bring in?
Letters in bottles and seagrass
Pipis and cockles and sea stars
Great white teeth and blue whale bones
A hermit crab and its takeaway home
Pennies and junk and plastic bags
Washed-up nets and bottle caps
My mum says I can keep the pennies
But the trash should not be on our beach
Let's clean up the junk and washed-up nets
No more plastic sea
What'll the tide bring in? What'll the tide bring in?
I make mandala in the sand
The waves roll higher
And it's pattern versus sea
The tide ebbs at my feet
And it takes the driftwood sticks and seaweed fronds
The mangrove seeds and sea shell rings
Pipis and cockles and sea stars
Letters in bottles and seagrass
The hermit crab and its takeaway home
The great white teeth and whale bones
All the trash we take away and tell our friends
We have to change (no more plastic sea)
What'll the tide bring in? What'll the tide bring in?
Hopes and dreams and far-off plans
Tomorrow's days and yesterday's maps
Reflections of the starry sky
The universe in the blink of an eye
What'll the tide bring in? What'll the tide bring in?
