I was a fish, before a man The ocean was my home I walk, where once I swam At the edge of the sea foam I walk next to the shoreline Next to bending, bowing Blue daisies in a jagged line Sea winds overhead howling I was a fish, before all this In seaweed hidden caves Unaware of the ocean mists And the beauty of the days I was stolen by a kind hand From spinning dark and salt To dry out, reeling on the sand As my world came to a halt Still, here I walk, on this beach With visions of the seafloor This world, is out of my reach As is the sunlight that I adore Soon, I'll be a fish again Waiting silent in the shade Yet, I will continue until then To walk as man, as I was made
