Lyrics
With the ocean in my eyes
Feet in the sand
One last step and
It’s goodbye to dry land
Feel the cold water flow
When I’ve never felt more alone
Everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
Full moon fades out in the west
It’s time to take a deep breath
Get down beneath the wave
Out the other side
Get ready for the very next set
Hear my heart beating out my chest
Everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
See the sun red fire fill the evening sky
When we get together guaranteed good times
Got a good thing going there’s no denying
Baby DO YOUR THING I’ll do mine
Surrounded by
The sun and the ocean
Ain’t nothing like right here & right now
Feel so high
Right here besides you
I don’t ever want to come back down
Deep dark eyes to the skies
Strong wings above the sand
One last leap to
Trade the sky for dry land (It’s goodbye to the sea and sand)
Let your voice be a whispered prayer
Let your love always be there
Let everything transform into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
Lord, I’ve see how you’ve grown
How you’ve never felt more at home
In skin all your own
Yet so much like your mom
I watched since you’re a baby girl
You mean everything in this world
Everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
About the Song
The title track of the Ram’s new album ‘Everything’ was written close to his family home, in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Surrounded by friends and family, it was in between holiday celebrations when he would settle down and get to work writing. Thanks to the room, in the old Pennsylvania log cabin house, a new album will be released in 2024.
Quote: In His Own Words
I put pen to paper in the front room of the old family farmhouse, where my brother Tommy left me a guitar to use while I was in town. In that room, lives the memories of my ancestry and the friendly ghosts of my past. So much has happened in that house that it overflows with soul. All those acts of unconditional love, like condensation gathering.
Places like these are where songwriters belong. A place where the mind swims in a river of inspiration. It saturates the heart with ancient emotion. That room has millions of songs in it, all you have to do is take a seat and listen to your heart.
Our ability to find beauty in the world around us is a gift. It’s the very definition of art, and at the core of thinking that translates tragedy, pain, and loss into something that helps us grow. ‘Everything’ is a nod to this gift, written for those who see riches where others would only see nothing and the creator in every single one of us.
