Magic Seashell
If you ever feel so completely empty
Close those eyes and think of me
Keep them shut and think of a place
Picture us there together
Think of the ocean with the big blue waves, like walls holding everything together
Visualize us walking in the sand, running around admiring this land
Can you see that seashell?, hold it to your ear so you can hear a voice
Is it me you hear?, calling your name?, can you hear the whispers of the sea?
If you listen close enough, you might be able to her me
Grab a net, head to the waters so we may catch a mermaid
There's one now, can you see her swimming?
Catch her quick but release her shortly after
Now open your eyes, and look around the room
Like the mermaid you let go, admire what you got
Though the room is not as full as the ocean
Hold the shell close to your ear, so you can hear me once again
