If I were a dolphin,                 I am only a child,

then what would I do?            And what do I do?

I'd splash in the water,            I drown in the water

rejoicing with you.                  I don't see all of you.



If I were a dolphin,                 I am only a child,

then what would I see?           and what do I see?

I'd look all around                  I see I am trapped

and see I was free.                 in a prison created by me.



If I were a dolphin,                 I am only a child,

then what would I hear?          So what do I hear?

I'd hear the ocean's song,        The roar of my ocean

telling me not to fear.              Covering me with fear.



If I were a dolphin,                 I am only a child,

then where would I go?          and where do I go?

I'd follow the tide,                  I follow the pain

and it's ebb and flow. -           not the ebb but the flow.



If I were a dolphin,                 I am only a child

who would I be?                    So who am I to be?

No acting or strangers,           I duck and I hide

just purely plain me. -             you see only shadows of me.



If I were a dolphin,                 I am only a child

then what would I fear?          and what do I fear?

I'd fear nothing at all,              Pain, loneliness, misery,

with happiness near.               And the shedding of tears.



If I were a dolphin,                 I am only a child

Then what would I feel?         and what do I feel?

I'd feel everyone's love,          I still feel the love

because it's so real.                because it's so real.



If I were a dolphin,                 I am only a child

then what would I say?           and what do I say?

I would look at you truthfully,  I must turn my eyes downward

and say "I am okay."               as I lie "I am okay."
