Lyrics

You can sit by the ocean

You can enjoy the vastness of life represented by the ocean, but that alone won't transform you into a passive, empty entity.

But that won't make you into a shell

Being physically present in a place does not necessarily change your essence or character.

Be the first there on Sunday

That don't mean one day heaven's there

You can live for the moment
