[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
