If I could have chosen what God would hide as heaven,
[D] _ I'd wish for it to be in the salt and swell the ocean,
[G#] _ [G] Carried by the currents through all continents' shores, _
[B] _ Reaching into the depths where the sun's light [Bm] has never shone. _
Mixed with an algae and coral, breathed in by sharks and dolphins,
[D] Sailed by tanker ships, private yachts, swam in by tourists,
[G] Walking its way up through endless lakes and [E] rivers,
[Bm] Swamps and estuaries, bound through limestone into the aquifer,
[Em] Near a side of the county, a few pipes and a faucet,
[B] Filled into a glass [D] to meet the thirst of our [Bm] children.

If I could have chosen, I would have been part a woman.
[D] My mother once told me she would have made me,
Laura, [G#] _ [G] _ _ to be strong and beautiful like her.
[Bm] One day I'd find an honest man for me, my husband.
We would have two children, build our home on the Gulf of Mexico.
[D] Our family would spend hot summer days at the beach together.
[C#] The [A#] sun would [G] kiss our skin as we played in the sand and [E] water.
[Bm] And we would know we loved each other without having to [Em] say it.
At night we would sleep with the windows of our houses open,
[B] Letting the cool ocean air [D] _ see the sun with shoulders [Bm] fast and long. _ _
