Umi Sono Ai [level: Medium] Kousaku Dan, arr. Rachel Stenson | Randy and Rachel Stenson Choral Series
voicing: TTBB | catalog number: SBMP 974 | duration: 4:40 | price: $1.95

A beautiful, beloved Japanese song, it tells of a man who goes to the ocean to reflect upon his life. In each wave he sees opportunity. Though the retreat of each wave may reflect his failures, a new wave of hope soon appears. It carries him, it lifts him, and sends him toward his destiny. Sing the song in the original Japanese, or in the English version provided by Randy Stenson.
