about

Webbed fingers and toes and blowholes for a nose
Our legs merge into tails
Need gills to breathe down far beneath the leagues
And learn to think like whales
Eyes that see underseas, forget the plants and trees
For now on it’s seaweed and snails
Now that your voice is gone, it might be long
To have a chance again to tell our tales

And when the tides come in and we’re aquatic again
Don’t forget to hold your breath
And when our time (/the land) runs out and you’re no longer in doubt
Won’t you wish you listened back then?

Webbed fingers and toes and blowholes for a nose
Better learn to find a taste for krill
No time for beliefs, need extra rows of teeth
For now on it’s kill or be killed
Oceans rise and mountains fall
And we never learn a thing at all
The stars are far and we’re so small
But we never learn a thing at all.

And when the oceans rise and salt destroys your eyes
Will you believe what you’re seeing then?
When the land washes away and you’ve been swimming all day
Better pray you don’t get the bends
When you’re hiding from sharks in kelp beds in the dark
Be sure to not make a sound
When you’re gasping for air and consumed by despair
You might wish your feet were back on the ground
