    Verse 1

    If 
    I 
    could 
    have chosen 
    where 
    God 
    would 
    hide 
    his 
    heaven 

    I'd 
    wish 
    for 
    it 
    to be 
    the salt 

    and swell 
    of the 
    ocean 

    Carried 
    by 
    the 
    currents 
    to all 

    continents' shores 

    Reaching 
    into 
    the depths 
    where 

    the sun's 
    light 
    is 
    never 
    shown 

    Mixed 
    with algae 
    and 
    coral, 

    breathed 
    in 
    by 
    sharks 
    and 
    dolphins 

    Sailed 
    by 
    tanker 
    ships, 
    private 
    yachts, 

    swam 
    in 
    by 
    tourists 

    Working 
    its 
    way 
    up 
    through 
    inlets, 

    lakes, 
    and 
    rivers 

    Swamps, 
    and 
    estuaries, 

    down 
    through 
    limestone 
    into 
    the 
    aquifer 

    Verse 2
    Purified 
    by the 
    county, 
    pumped 

    through 
    pipes 
    and 
    out 
    faucets 

    Filled 
    into 
    a 
    glass 
    to meet 
    the thirst 
    of 

    our 
    chil
    dren 

    Verse 3

    And 
    if 
    I 
    could 
    have chosen, 

    I 
    would have 
    been 
    born 
    a woman 

    My 
    mother 
    once 
    told 
    me 
    she 
    would 

    have named 
    me 
    Laura 

    I'd 
    grow 
    up 
    to 
    be strong 

    and 
    beautiful 
    like 
    her 

    One 
    day, 
    I'd find 
    an 
    honest 

    man 
    to make 
    my 
    husband 

    We 
    would 
    have 
    two 
    children, 

    build 
    our 
    home 
    on the 
    Gulf 
    of Mexico 

    Our 
    family 
    would 
    spend 
    hot 
    summer 

    days 
    at the 
    beach 
    together 

    The sun 
    would kiss 
    our skin 
    as we 

    played 
    in 
    the sand 
    and water 

    And we 
    would know 
    we 
    loved 
    each 

    other 
    without 
    having 
    to say 
    it 

    At 
    Verse 4
    night, 
    we 
    would sleep 
    with the 

    windows 
    of our house 
    left 
    open 

    Letting 
    the cool 
    ocean 
    air 
    soothe 
    the 
    sunburned 
    shoulders 
    of our 

    Interlude 1
    children 





    There 
    is 
    an 
    Verse 5
    ocean 
    in 
    my 
    soul 

    where 
    the waters 
    do 
    not 
    curve 

    There 
    is 
    an 
    ocean 
    in 
    my 
    soul 
    where 

    the waters 
    do 
    not 
    curve 

    There 
    is an ocean 
    in 
    my 
    soul 
    where 

    the waters 
    do 
    not 
    curve 

    There 
    is 
    an ocean 
    in 
    my 
    soul 
    where 
    the waters 
    do 
    not 
    curve!

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
