[00:15.71] |
I was living very happy |
[00:20.14] |
When they came to me |
[00:24.62] |
Offered riches for the pearls |
[00:27.96] |
Way down in the sea |
[00:31.23] |
So I became a pearl diver |
[00:35.56] |
Held my breath as I went down |
[00:39.85] |
Caught my foot between two rocks |
[00:42.35] |
And drowned |
[00:47.12] |
Now I am sitting under water |
[00:51.20] |
Watching things fall in |
[00:55.14] |
Sinking with the weight of knowledge |
[00:58.59] |
Greed, desire and sin |
[01:10.77] |
Now I am eternal witness |
[01:14.54] |
To the tide that man has turned |
[01:18.46] |
Pity he will never know |
[01:22.67] |
The things that I have learned |
[01:25.89] |
The submarines go underneath |
[01:30.18] |
The battleships above |
[01:33.11] |
And the divers keep on coming |
[01:36.67] |
Putting prices on their love |
[01:40.81] |
And I can taste the toxic waters |
[01:44.63] |
Hear every splash of waste |
[01:48.68] |
I see how man has used the sea |
[01:52.35] |
Diluting his distaste |
[02:04.51] |
The fishes tell me they would like to |
[02:08.48] |
Throw a hook up on the land |
[02:12.28] |
Snag a man and drag him under |
[02:16.23] |
Put him in a can |
[02:19.73] |
Watch him fight to breathe the water |
[02:23.49] |
Buy him in a store |
[02:27.09] |
Cut him up to be their dinner |
[02:31.20] |
Throw the bones on shore |
[02:35.33] |
Dump their garbage overground |
[02:38.60] |
Invade the air with greed |
[02:42.51] |
Exploit the wind and use the land |
[02:46.39] |
For things that they don't need |
[03:05.42] |
I was living very happy |
[03:09.61] |
Until they came to me |
[03:13.37] |
Now I'm a pearl diver |
[03:17.00] |
Buried in the sea |
[03:21.96] |
My dream is to be cremated |
[03:24.58] |
Not swaying with the tide |
[03:27.91] |
But because I wanted more |
[03:30.84] |
Than God had given me |
[03:33.35] |
I died |
[03:43.82] |
Because I wanted more |
[03:46.26] |
Than God had given me |
[03:49.63] |
I died |
