Love is the Seventh Wave

by Sting

In the empire of the senses, you’re the queen of all you survey. All the cities, all the nations, everything that falls your way, there is a deeper wave than this that you don’t understand.

There is a deeper wave than this tugging at your hand.

Every ripple on the ocean, every leaf on every tree, every sand dune in the desert, every power we never see, there is a deeper wave than this swelling in the world.

There is a deeper wave than this. Listen to me girl.

Feel it rising in the cities. Feel it sweeping over land. Over borders, over frontiers, nothing will it’s power withstand. There is no deeper wave than this rising in the world.

There is no deeper wave than this. Listen to me girl.

All the bloodshed, all the anger, all the weapons, all the greed, all the armies, all the missiles, all the symbols of our fear, there is a deeper wave than this rising in the world.

There is a deeper wave than this. Listen to me girl.

At the still point of destruction, at the centre of the fury, all the angels, all the devils, all around us, can’t you see? There is a deeper wave than this rising in the land.

There is a deeper wave than this nothing will withstand.

I say love is the seventh wave.
