Em G C D
[Verse 1]
EmI‘ve been Glonesome, CI’ve seen lDovers come and goEm  
And I’ve been Ghungry, CI’ve been tDired wet and coldEm  
I’ve seen cGities Cswept out iDn the undertowEm  
I’ve heard Gangels, Cand I’ve sung Dup from down below.Em  
I went Gsearching Cbut I forgoDt where I begaEmn
’Till on the Gbeach here CI met this Dsilent smiling maEmn
His eyes were dGiamonds, Cand He motioDned with His haEmnds
Said “I am the Gwaves here, CI am this tDiny grain of sEmand”
[Chorus]
“I am the GOcean, CI am the Dsweat upon your slEmeeves,
I am your pGrayers and CI am the Dsilence in betEmween,
I am the rhytGhm, I Cam the eDvery song you singEm,
I am the GOcean, CI am the hopDe the new day Embrings.”
[Verse 2]
My eyes Gopened, I Cthought I Dheard Him say gooEmdbye
But He was gonGe and the daCy had run loDng into nightEm  
Well I looked Gup and I couCld not belieDve the sightEm  
A thousand diaGmonds were rCaining down Dfrom in the skEmy
I’ve heard thuGnder, but I’Cve seen lighDt shine in the Emwake
And I’ve heard Gtyrants apoClogize for tDheir mistakesEm  
And I’ve felt GGod’s Love rCise up where Dthere once waEms hate
And I’ve seen Gpeople come Ctogether for Dlove’s sake.Em  
[Chorus]
“I am the OceaGn, I am the Csweat upon yDour sleeves,Em  
I am your prayGers and I am Cthe silence Din between,Em  
I am the rhythGm, I am the Cevery song yDou sing,Em  
I am the OceanG, I am the hCope the new Dday brings.”Em

[Intro]

Em G C D

[Verse 1]

Em G C D Em

I‘ve been lonesome, I’ve seen lovers come and go

G C D Em

And I’ve been hungry, I’ve been tired wet and cold

G C D Em

I’ve seen cities swept out in the undertow

G C D Em

I’ve heard angels, and I’ve sung up from down below.

G C D Em

I went searching but I forgot where I began

G C D Em

’Till on the beach here I met this silent smiling man

G C D Em

His eyes were diamonds, and He motioned with His hands

G C D Em

Said “I am the waves here, I am this tiny grain of sand”

[Chorus]

G C D Em

“I am the Ocean, I am the sweat upon your sleeves,

G C D Em

I am your prayers and I am the silence in between,

G C D Em

I am the rhythm, I am the every song you sing,

G C D Em

I am the Ocean, I am the hope the new day brings.”

[Verse 2]

G C D Em

My eyes opened, I thought I heard Him say goodbye

G C D Em

But He was gone and the day had run long into night

G C D Em

Well I looked up and I could not believe the sight

G C D Em

A thousand diamonds were raining down from in the sky

G C D Em

I’ve heard thunder, but I’ve seen light shine in the wake

G C D Em

And I’ve heard tyrants apologize for their mistakes

G C D Em

And I’ve felt God’s Love rise up where there once was hate

G C D Em

And I’ve seen people come together for love’s sake.

[Chorus]

G C D Em

“I am the Ocean, I am the sweat upon your sleeves,

G C D Em

I am your prayers and I am the silence in between,

G C D Em

I am the rhythm, I am the every song you sing,

G C D Em

I am the Ocean, I am the hope the new day brings.”
