Emotions are like the ocean
With waves big and small
Happy keeps you floating
But sad can make you fall

Your arms help you to swim
And you words help you to say
What you’re feeling
When you’re feeling
Any sort of way

So let’s talk, talk, talk, talk about
What we feel inside
Let’s talk, talk, talk, talk it out
Feelings shouldn’t hide

Emotions are like the ocean
With waves everywhere
Excited keeps you hoping
And nervous makes you scared

Your arms help you to swim
And your words help you to say
What you’re feeling
When you’re feeling
Any sort of way

So let’s talk, talk, talk, talk about
What we feel inside
Let’s talk, talk, talk, talk it out
Feelings shouldn’t hide

Words can tell me when you’re happy
That we’re here together
Words can tell me when you’re hurt
And how to make it better

So let’s talk, talk, talk, talk about
What we feel inside
Let’s talk, talk, talk, talk it out
Feelings shouldn’t hide

Emotions are like the ocean
With waves every size
Loved can you make you smile
Lonely can make you cry

Your arms help you to swim
And you words help you to say
What you’re feeling
When you’re feeling
Any sort of way

Your arms help you to swim
And you words make feelings real
So next you feel something
Tell me how you feel
