Anggun – Oceans lyrics

[Chorus]
When oceans of words bring you down
Waves of hate try to make you drown
Pull yourself up, your head up high
Hit them with laughter
Kill them with a smile
When oceans of words bring you down
Waves of hate try to make you drown
Pull yourself up, your head up high
Hit them with laughter
Kill them with a smile

[Verse 1]
I am not what’s on the resume
Don’t want the shortcuts
So, if you wanna know who I am, take your time
Because my story goes way back
It hasn’t been glitter and gold on my life
Hasn’t been easy but no worry
I’m not about to bend to contrarily
And broad of my history
Meet who I am now
I’ve learned my lessons hard
I should never be careless and off-guard
But only with stone like … thick skin
When nothing can even get in
Not even those eyes try to hypnotize me into sink
When things get rough
I get myself some love, some love

[Chorus]
When oceans of words bring you down
Waves of hate try to make you drown
Pull yourself up, your head up high
Hit them with laughter
Kill them with a smile

[Verse 2]
Oh, it’s been a long time
I left my home but it never left me
I’m still deep down a Javanese woman
Who’s always smiling
But people get jealous and unkind
They took behind my back to put me down
Well, I really don’t know what has gotten into their minds
Might be something I have that they want
So have the freedom to be who I am
There is no prison in my heart and my mind
I don’t ever want to be like that bird
That’s been born in that cage
And think out is an outrage
Can’t talk to people like that
The bullets all fall flat
I'ma feet with the sound of a feet

[Chorus]
When oceans of words bring you down
Waves of hate try to make you drown
Pull yourself up, your head up high
Hit them with laughter
Kill them with a smile

[Bridge]
All the words they are meant to bruise it
All the fools to think they can win but I’m too strong to lose
Turn your mind to turn out that fire
Don’t ever let anyone to cover your power

[Chorus]
When oceans of words bring you down
Waves of hate try to make you drown
Pull yourself up, your head up high
Hit them with laughter
Kill them with a smile
When oceans of words bring you down
Waves of hate try to make you drown
Pull yourself up, your head up high
Hit them with laughter
Kill them with a smile
Hit them with laughter
Kill them with a smile
