“Underwater”
I love it when you shave your head and how you walk that stare in me
Flickering lights in your head going from red to green
And I’m scared to cross the road for fear of what I’ll see and feel
Maybe
The truth is underwater
Tell that immigration lawyer
This world belongs to me too
When I get there, will you show me your humanity?
When I’m lying on the beach
Will you feed me, mother Italy?
Or the goddesses of Greece
Will you treat me like a queen
Or a refugee?
Put your faith in the water
If you’re brave enough to brave the storm
The ocean is a ruthless lover
But there would be no tears without her
And what about the moon?
Maybe
The truth is underwater
Can a shark ever be kind?
Can an octopus tell lies?
Is the starfish really a star?
You wanna know how small you are?
Swim beside a killer whale
A whale
It’s not just a drop in the ocean
Oh, no, no
So Greta, just start a commotion
Maybe
The truth is underwater
Can a shark ever be kind?
Can an octopus tell lies?
Is the starfish really a star?
You wanna know how small you are?
Swim beside a killer whale
A killer whale
When I get there, will you show me your humanity?
When I’m lying on the beach
Will you feed me, mother Italy?
Or the goddesses of Greece
Will you treat me like a queen
Or a refugee?
