Ocean Is My Potion

by John Urban

Singer-songwriter Mishka Frith knows something about being on the water. Born to a Bermudian father and Nova Scotian mother, he grew up on his family’s boat, sailing the islands of the Caribbean. As a musician, Mishka’s sound is reggae, with a broad appeal to anyone who loves the ocean.

I’ll save my own words today. As the 4th of July approaches, I’ll be humming along to Ocean Is My Potion. Perhaps the lyrics below, and the link to the song, will cause you to do the same.

Ocean Is My Potion by Mishka

Ocean is my potion

I need vitamin sea

So if you´re trying to find me

head on down by the beach

Ocean is my potion

I need vitamin sea

So if you´re trying to find me

Look out there by the reef

Cause I love to

Get high

Under the blue sky

Oh, Sweet ride

Got you by my side

If I´ve got open horizons

all around me

360 degrees

I feel at home like I know were I´m going

feel all the breeze.

Thousands shades of blue

and I’m on a rock beach

Everything that I got to learn

I know she will teach

that she will teach

she will teach

Cause I love a

Free dive

on the lee side

down 25 feet

with you by me side

If I’m trippin on my ego

like humility

She tumbles me

humbles me

She lets me know

brings me back

to reality

She´s my living treasure

Yes my sweet relief

Take away the pressure

She´s my remedy

If you´re a

sailor

swimmer

deep sea diver

then you know what I mean

If you´re a

fisherman

paddler

big wave ridder

then you know what I mean
