Jaspar Lepak: When the Ocean's Full of Tears

Описание: Here's another song for you as part of my Fridays at Noon video series! “When the Ocean's Full of Tears” is brand new. I will be recording it on my upcoming album (tentative release date: Nov 2026). This one goes out to my city of Minneapolis and all of the hurt and violence we are currently experiencing from ICE. I cannot believe this is our world.

I've been releasing a new song most Fridays at 12pm CT—so be sure to subscribe! You'll hear more unreleased originals (like this one!), deep cuts, old favorites, and the occasional cover.

When the Ocean's Full of Tears © Jaspar Lepak 2026

Outside the rain is falling
The sky a quiet shade of grey
Inside the tears are calling
I can’t stop crying today

I see a world full of people
Who think their sadness is their own
But these tears are from the ocean
They are the sadness of our home

CHORUS:
We must see with our own eyes
We must listen through our fear
We must keep our hearts open
When the ocean’s full of tears

We come each generation
Like the waves upon the shore
These burdens we all carry
They have been carried before

Some of us always have nothing
Some of us take more than we need
Some of us are born into a prison
Built by someone else’s greed

CHORUS

We are living at the same time
This is the miracle we share
That we walk these years together
We are all travelers here

I see a world full of people
Who think they dream their dreams alone
But these dreams are for each other
They are the dreams that call us home

We are born to live as equals
To live with love and without shame
If we don’t cry these tears together
All our love will turn to hate

CHORUS
