You wanted a picture perfect ocean
Like you'd see inside a frame
But you hid your emotion
And just smiles through the pain
"Let him be crucified" they shouted
But you saw no sin in his eyes
So when you heard them say "Barabbas"
They caught you by surprise
And the crowd said
"Oh, oh"
You didn't want salt in your ocean
You didn't want blood on your sands
So they put the thorns on his head
And you washed your hands
Oh, Oh
While you were washing
He was bleeding
While you were washing
He was weeping
While you were sleeping
He was saving
While you were washing
He was bleeding
While you were washing
He was weeping
While you were sleeping
He was saving
And the crowd said
"Oh, oh"
Do you remember
Do you understand
While you were washing
He was saving the souls of man
Oh, oh
