Katiana Vazquez - By The Beach Lyrics

Oh child we grew up by the ocean
We grew up in the waves
We tried to solve our problems
Without sailing away
I raised you with salt water in your veins
I hope that you'd always take that strength
To mountains or cities
Although I wish you would say and stare at the sea
Swallowing the sunset
And birthing a new breeze
But if you're not near
At least we'll always have the beach
Oh child you say you hate the sand
But I watched you build castles
You say you wanna explore
And be more open to travel
Nothing beats the morning watching the sunrise
Or spending your evening by the tide
And now you're surfing on Sundays
You say it's religion chasing the waves
I don't think you'll go
This is your home
But if you want to leave
At least we'll always have the beach
Oh child hiding in the shells
Are stories untold
You wander leaving footprints
Etched in sandy gold
While the water may wash your tracks away
The ocean song still sings all your praise
And I'm singing beside her
At the top of my lungs I'll never whisper
You'll always be
The best parts of me
And if you're out of reach
At least we'll always have the beach
