Follow My Voice


Jump in the ocean you'll drown, dear

Swim to my voice now, I dare.

You like it down where it's deeper,

But you'd like it better with air.

You're not a dolphin, no matter

What you can say in your prayer,

So follow my voice and make your choice,

For it's dark and it's heavy down there.

You might not know where you are, dear,

You might not say that you care,

You might know how you'll make your way,

You just don't know to where.

But swim till you're hearing my voice, now

I know that the world isn't fair,

But dear, you're not meant for the ocean,

So follow my voice if you dare.
