‘Edge of the Ocean’ was released in 2001 and it is about new beginnings. In the context of a funeral or memorial it would mean leaving the physical world and moving to the heavenly realm where “the sky is always blue” and they can “start all over again”.
Lyrics
There’s a place I dream about
Where the sun never goes out.
And the sky is deep and blue.
Won’t you take me there with you.
Where the sun never goes out.
And the sky is deep and blue.
Won’t you take me there with you.
Oh, we can begin again.
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in.
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again.
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in.
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again.

There’s a world I’ve always known
Somewhere far away from home
When I close my eyes I see
All the space and mystery
When I close my eyes I see
All the space and mystery
Ohhh, we can begin again
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again
Sha lah lah lah lah lah lah

Sha lah lah lah lah lah lah

Oh, we can begin again
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again
We can start over again
