In the abyss where I used to lay
there was a sunny day
I went circling the waves above me
and I found my tail being freed.
With the glimpse of a shadow
out of the corner of my eye
I felt a ripple of excitement
my tail giggled as my fin pushed me to him
we danced with the herrings,
glided with the tunas
and raced with the Ferraris of the ocean.
"Swim with us our little cuties
let's ride with the tides
mom and dad will give you a nudge
so you can wander the surface above
isn't it amazing, isn't it great?
take a deep breath
as we rock to the top!"
It was a sunny day
in the place we called home
the waters that we dwelt in
was a paradise of love
for our little calves until dawn.
