Lyrics

Dear Al, it's only me. It's been a while since I saw you.
Can you tell me, are you free? Did you find your way home?

A wave on the sea, no matter how high
Is still only water, and water never dies
From the bottom of the ocean to the vast open sky
Rise...

Floating through the misty haze, can you hear the voices calling?
Crying out for better days, yet will not fly for fear of falling.

A cloud in the heavens, no matter how high
Is still only water, never born, and never dies
As the rain pours down, then returns to the sky
Rise, rise, rise!

Dear Al, look at me. Now I'm flying here beside you.
And finally, I can see. I was never far from home.

All the waves in the sea, and the clouds way up high
And the rain pouring down, and the tears in my eyes
From the bottom of the ocean to the stars in the sky

Rise!
