THERE IS AN OCEAN (Donovan P. Leitch) From the album Essence to Essence (1973)

^EmThere is an ocean of ^Amvast proportion And ^B7she flows within our^Emselves. ^EmTo take dips daily we ^Amdive in gaily, He ^B7knows who goes within him^Emself. ^GThe abode of ^B7angels, the ^Emmystical promised ^Cland, ^B7The one and only heaven, the ^Emgod of man ^B7Is but the closing of an eyelid ^Emaway.

There is a silence of pure excellence And she flows within ourselves. To appreciate, we de-activate. He knows who goes within himself. The domain of devils, the fearful land, The only and only Hades, the satan of man Is but the closing of an eyelid away.

^D ^GAll is as it ^G/F#was and ever^Emmore shall be, ^AmThough they try to ^Am/Gtell us it's not ^Dso. ^GOver all the ^G/F#earth there's nothing ^Emnew to see, ^AmExcepting every ^Am/Gseed will newly ^Dgrow. ^GInnocence in ^G/F#childhood false men ^Emmisconstrue ^AmTo be years of ^Am/Gdarkness spent in ^Dshade, ^GDenying childhood's ^G/F#vision of the ^Emgod of love, So that ^Amtruth be turned a^Dbout and untruth ^Gmade,^G/F# And untruth ^Emmade.

There is a reason for every season Of change within ourselves. To navigate, we appreciate And know the flow within ourselves. The deliverance from deluge, the good dry land, The one and only haven, the rock of man Is but the closing of an eyelid away.

^EmThere is a season, ^Cooh^B7, There is an ocean, ooh, There is a silence, ooh.
