Hi this is my first post here since many years ! I was here since the very beginning of this adventure called Steemit ! I bought back in 2016 10 BTC 9000 Steem, so yeah probably not one of the best investments ! But that is just how my Cookie Crumbled !
Anyway I am here to upload this text and my first raw recording and lyrics for my original song
It my hope you like this song and give a good listen and share it to friends and the World.Its my wish that you might discover, listen and enjoy my initial recording here on Youtube. If you are an artist with more networks than me and have perhaps an interest to take this song and give it more than I am able, then please do contact me by mail brian66jones@gmail.com so that we might discuss this in further detail.

Here is my original song and lyrics " Life is an Ocean "

Copyright © 2026 James Jackson. All Rights Reserved.

There once was an old sailor alone by the shore, watching serenely the light dance before
He thought on his Life, all that he,d been, on how now it all seemed, just as a dream !
He thought on his wandering, the places he,d been, he thought on what his old eyes had seen
He thought to what he,d lost and found, of brothers on ships now,. laid to ground !

Life is an Ocean , pleasant and green
beneath her still waters are hidden your dreams
When you walk on Bright waters, you,ll feel like a King
0 But turn your back to her, you might feel her sting

There came a young damsel a walking the sand, carrying cool water in a jug in her hand.
He called out to her, come give me water to drink, ill sing you a song that,ll make you, think
I,ll tell you of treasures, mysteries untold, I,ll tell you of places all built out of gold.
I,ll make it so real, you might think you can hold, for this cup, my dreams, I have sold.!

Life is an Ocean, pleasant and green
beneath her still waters are hidden your dreams
When you walk on Bright waters, you,ll feel like a King
But turn your back to her, you might feel her sting

The damsel gave him water for the sailor to drink, he began a singing before she could think
The song took her over she started to dance, around the old sailor she feverishly pranced
On seeing her raw beauty, his heart grew bold, upon her fine raiment this sailor took hold
Soon the poor damsel was as naked can be, and in full shock she ran, into the sea.
For a beauty like her,s, a thing to behold, so he just sat there waiting, even though he grew cold, but.he sat there just waiting, he,s there still,
where he will always be.

Life is an Ocean, pleasant and green
beneath her still waters are hidden your dreams
When you walk on Bright waters, you,ll feel like a King
But turn your back to her, you might feel a sting

So the sailor sat there waiting upon her lines, till the end of his days, the end of his times.
He sat there waiting, he,s there still, once the birds of the ocean had taken up, their fill !
The old sailors waiting, always at hand, his bones lie there half buried down in the sand.
Nobody with prayers to save him from sin, all that remains are his bones and a grin
Nobody with Mercy to dig him a hole, nobody with prayers that might save his soul
All that remains of him, are these two eyes.of coal !

Life is an Ocean, pleasant and green
beneath her still waters are hidden your dreams
When you walk on Bright waters, you might feel like a King
But turn your back to her, you might feel her sting
