lyrics

I would fall into the sea if I knew where it went,
All these unknown mysteries, I’m starting to feel spent,
I was born a happy boy, at least so I’ve been told,
But all these years of chasing tails; I’m starting to feel old.

Beneath the floors of ocean beds, you’ll find my body still,
Attached to coral reefs; I’m whale food, I am krill,
If I could have these questions solved, I’d free myself from it,
I’d float up to the surface, if I knew how to swim.

And I had a dream,
That you were with me there,
And all the angler fishes,
Made everything clear, oh!

Won’t you light the way, won’t you light the way for me?

About four trillion years or more, and we know nothing still,
About the depths of ocean beds, but that’s part of the thrill,
To not know what is out there, swimming gracefully,
But I wish I had some idea, before it devours me.

And I have no idea,
What I will become,
And all the angler fishes,
Won’t show me where I’m from, oh!

Won’t you light the way, won’t you light the way for me?
