Well, I had a dream about floatin'
Out there in a raft on the ocean
With my family far behind
Why are they hard to find?
Or up in the sky
But I'm up too high
My family's on the ground
And I can't quite come down
Cause I'm floatin'
Like on an ocean.

I'm so surprised that I should be there for them.
Those waves are tall and this raft is so small.
Now the wind is there on the sea
This floatin's sendin' a chill through me.
Floatin'
Like on the ocean.

Yonder are dark clouds, yonder sounds the thunder
Well, I've been floatin', floatin' for a while
How much longer I wonder.
And the breeze is there, and it's kind of cold.
This floatin', floatin'
Well, I don't know about floatin'
You know, like on the ocean.

Dream about floatin'
Like on the ocean.
With my family somewhere behind
I don't like it when they're so far behind
I had a dream then about bein' in the sky
Okay, but I'm up a little too high
And my family's on the ground
That's no good, cause I can't come down
See, I'm floatin'
Almost like bein' on an ocean.
And I'm so surprised that it should be I
Who'd be there floatin'
Them waves are fair tall, and this raft feels so small.
And now the wind comes up on the sea
This floatin', floatin' is chillin' to me.
Floatin'
Like on the ocean.

Yon dark clouds out there, yonder sounds the thunder
Well this floatin' was okay for a while
But now for how long I wonder.
And the breeze comes up on the sea
This floatin' is hurtin' me.
Floatin'
Like on the ocean.
Floatin'
Like on the ocean.
