The Sea Is Calling Lyrics
At night when it's quiet and the waves come rolling in,
The merchant ship's light paints the dark as we sing hymns
The one who is great, who but words cannot be seen
When all left is love, there will be no in between
Tucked in the corner of Earth
Naked in light we are born
Oh, can you hear the sea calling?
Calling us into the world
A distance from grace, we shall toil with our days
And take on the dirt that has rendered us as slaves
Our mothers will cry, is there something in the sky?
We know we are present here, but may never know why
Tucked in the corner of Earth
Naked in light we are born
Oh, can you hear the sea calling?
Calling us into the world
Tucked in the corner of Earth
Naked in light we are born
Oh, can you hear the sea calling?
Calling us into the world
Tucked in the corner of Earth
Placed on the wayside at birth
Down on the open road
Making our way back home
Tucked in the corner of Earth
Naked in light we are born
Oh, can you hear the sea calling?
Calling us into the world
The merchant ship's light paints the dark as we sing hymns
The one who is great, who but words cannot be seen
When all left is love, there will be no in between
Naked in light we are born
Oh, can you hear the sea calling?
Calling us into the world
And take on the dirt that has rendered us as slaves
Our mothers will cry, is there something in the sky?
We know we are present here, but may never know why
Naked in light we are born
Oh, can you hear the sea calling?
Calling us into the world
Naked in light we are born
Oh, can you hear the sea calling?
Calling us into the world
Placed on the wayside at birth
Down on the open road
Making our way back home
Tucked in the corner of Earth
Naked in light we are born
Oh, can you hear the sea calling?
Calling us into the world

Makes me think that life is a journey back to God.
It feels like someone who is lost of purposes, being called back into the world. Some of the lines make me think of the modern day corporate slave: toil with our day, take home the dirt, rendered us as slave.
I'm still confused with the first two lines of the chorus : "Tucked in the conner of earth - Naked in light we are birthed". From what I feel, it sounds like a soul are born into this world, so pure and has no purpose in life. And then "the sea calling" is life when you growing up, having experience what life meant to be. The sea here is also represent how up and down life is, same as how the sea is: calm, vast, endless but sometime rough, angry that can overthrow any individual.
This song really messes me up with some if its lines.
