[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Flowing Piano, Deep Ocean Bass, Clean Guitar, Organ Swells, Gentle Wave FX]
\n[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
\nCan you…
\nsee climate change?<\/p>\n
Look…
\nto the sea…
\n(… to see)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nIn years like this
\n…it’s a lot easier to see the sea
\n(…and reality)
\nReally!<\/p>\n
(Careful what you wish)
\n‘Cause in years such as this…
\n(…it’s a lot easier to see the sea)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nThe ocean keeps what we can’t see
\nHolding on relentlessly
\nHiding beneath the tide
\nKeeping yesterday inside<\/p>\n
Then one season breaks the calm
\nWarmer currents sound alarm
\nSurface waters start to glow
\nShowing what the depths now know<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nSee the sea
\n(See the signs)
\nBreaking records
\n(Time after time)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nIn years like this
\n…it’s a lot easier to see the sea
\n(…and reality)
\nReally!<\/p>\n
(Careful what you wish)
\n‘Cause in years such as this…
\n(…it’s a lot easier to see the sea)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nFish move north to cooler streams
\nFollowing forgotten dreams
\nStorms discover warmer seas
\nFinding strength with greater ease<\/p>\n
Atmospheric rivers grow
\nLoaded where warm oceans flow
\n(Or don’t you know?)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nAccumulating
\n(Year by year)
\nSuddenly becomes
\n(Crystal clear)<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\n[Minimal Beat, Deep Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
\nThe atmosphere…
\n(Not so clear)<\/p>\n
The ocean…
\n(Releases again.)<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nIn years like this
\n…it’s a lot easier to see the sea
\n(…and reality)
\nReally!<\/p>\n
(Careful what you wish)
\n‘Cause in years such as this…
\n(…it’s a lot easier to see the sea)<\/p>\n
Sea reality…<\/p>\n
Is no fantasy.<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Outro: Ocean Waves, Piano, Echo Guitar, Organ Fade]
\nThe sea…<\/p>\n
doesn’t argue.<\/p>\n
(Or don’t you)
\n… see (see sea, see?)<\/p>\n
About the Song
\nCan you see climate change?<\/p>\n
It depends where you look. About 90% of the excess heat is in the ocean. In years like this\u2014with a super El Ni\u00f1o\u2014it’s much easier to see the sea… and reality. Marine heatwaves intensify, coral bleaching accelerates, ocean temperatures shatter records, hurricanes find more fuel, atmospheric rivers carry more moisture, and fisheries are disrupted as marine species migrate in search of cooler waters. The ocean doesn’t hide the warming\u2014it amplifies its consequences.<\/p>\n
