THE SEA

1

The sea is nature’s gift to us

A wondrous place to be

It can be a friendly place

So many things to see

2

A beautiful world not like ours

Lies quietly under the waves

A place to spend many happy hours

Full of enjoyment in many ways

3

A place that must be respected

When you venture into the deep

The sea has claimed many a man

And left many a maiden to weep

4

Don’t let me scare you of the sea

It’s yours to enjoy and explore

Just be kind to the life you find

Of this I could ask no more

5

It’s the home of many kinds of fish

And mammals live there too

We must take very special care

To protect them from the few

6

Some men kill the noble Whale

And Dolphins die in their nets

If we don’t protect their world

We will have many regrets

SONG OF THE DOLPHIN

1

I am a Dolphin, my home is the Sea

The sun warms the waters and I revel in it

The moon dances and I dance with her

I have the freedom no man has known

2

To play amongst the coral reefs and pursue dreams

My body strong and sleek, I speed through the waves

I can jump and dive or swim quietly
