Sea World
The waters of joy splashed my direction
Happiness is coming my way
Happiness is coming my way
Nothing is in my way
Nothing is in my way
I walk gaily while people pass me by
I’m as shy as the bears in the cave,
Huddling close…their brown fir – smooth and beautiful
Held together by love…a love so pure, so gentle
I tell my shattered soul, “Be brave…be brave…”
The waters of joy splashed my direction
Happiness is coming my way
Happiness is coming my way
Nothing is in my way
Nothing is in my way
Sea World – a place where animals are held in sweet captivity
A sugarcoated fantasy, a kid’s klever playground
Water me with your consideration, oh Lord…I’m brought low like the ground
Below me…I am in the pit; under ground without a sound
The waters of joy splashed my direction
Happiness is coming my way
Happiness is coming my way
Nothing is in my way
Nothing is in my way
Creativity hunts me down as if it is my predator
Victim to the sun’s rays, victim to the moon’s greys
I brush my teeth to your tune of foolish freshness
Can’t stand the distress, I’ll trade you my once-upon-a-time success
The waters of joy splashed my direction
Happiness is coming my way
Happiness is coming my way
Nothing is in my way
Nothing is in my way
Bitter as wormwood, yet sweet as sugar cane,
This lady, so kind, so fair, so pretty
She isn’t insane – she’s most certainly humane
Party, party all night long and bring the confetti
The waters of joy splashed my direction
Happiness is coming my way
Happiness is coming my way
Nothing is in my way
Nothing is in my way
Decorate me with Your truth
Looking good like a white tooth
Lies hit me hard
I’m the quiet bard
I keep secrets and I soak in regrets,
But I know I have to pay up tons of debts
But, why now? Why now?
Uplift me with your uncanny ways
Don’t act foolish…or fishy…if you know what I mean…I wish…I wish…
Someday, I will catch you like a rainbow fish and soak not my anguish
The waters of joy splashed my direction
Happiness is coming my way
Happiness is coming my way
Nothing is in my way
Nothing is in my way
I had a wonderful time at Sea World…
Witnessing the mammals, the sea otters, the sea lions, the pink flamingos
On rides with my friends…connected to a thousand trends
The enchanting ocean-like swimming pool of fish
Glance at me and wink at me…
The turtles and birds move on with life gleefully
Let me type endlessly
The waters of joy splashed my direction
Happiness is coming my way
Happiness is coming my way
Nothing is in my way
Nothing is in my way
Life is a bumpy rollercoaster – an up and down nightmare or dream
I scream with high and low self-esteem…
I type thoughtlessly
I am, honestly, blamelessly
Keeping myself comfy in my shell
Where does your ecstastic sea dreams dwell?
In heaven or hell?
I don’t believe we go to heaven or hell…
Perhaps, God will have something to show us
Because we are all on the same rowdy bus
