Mother took me in her arms
She said son, listen to me
Soldiers with their bombs and guns
Made us leave our country
With strangers, friends and family
We set sail for a dream
I hope someday you'll understand
Why home is home no more

And she said
You are the children of the ocean
You are the children of the sea
There's no going back
We must go on
On and on
On and on

Why are you crying mother?
Are we all going to die?
As long as we're together
I'm not afraid at all
Mother where has daddy gone?
Did they kill him too?
When I grow up
I'll stop them
From treating us so cruel

And she said
You are the children of the ocean
You are the children of the sea
There's no going back
We must go on
On and on
On and on

Is it true as you have said
People are waiting somewhere
To feed me, clothe me, love me
And tuck me into bed
So mother, I'll be good to night
Sleep tight till the dawn
When the morning Sun would shine its light
To lead us on and on

Now I know, we are the children of the ocean
We are the children of the sea
There's no going back
We must go on
On and on
On and on
