Bottle On The Ocean
Lyrics by Donald R. Weber

Oh, I've been walkin' these beaches for many a year
Never knowin' what I'd find
Hearin' old men tellin' tales bout ships and gales
And bout places way before my time

But there was nothin' for me but that rollin' sea
Nothin' for me that I could see
Was there something I was missing that was supposed to be
Waiting for me in that rollin' sea

Then like a bottle floating free on the ocean
He was standing there staring out to sea
Did I know it then or was I just hearing the wind
How could he be for me

How can I tell you how it came to be
Maybe I was looking for something I couldn't see
Maybe it was something that was supposed to be
Like that bottle on the ocean searching for a destiny

Maybe a mermaid, a whale, or a dolphin
All those things I know I can see
But the one thing I couldn't begin to believe
Could really happen to me

Never knowin', never seein', never believin'
From a strange land he crossed the storms and seas
With a message long since forgotten
Oooooo, he came to me

How I can tell you how it came to be
Maybe I was lookin' for something I couldn't see
Maybe it was somethin' that was supposed to be
Like that bottle on the ocean, searching for a destiny
Like that bottle on the ocean far across the seas
He came to me
