lyrics

Diving For Pearls

I hear my song in the sky above
Even as I swim through this darkness -
I'm a diver, diving for pearls.

It's the life I was born to, it's the only one I know,
Diving down for treasure -
I'm a diver, diving for pearls.

With the waves around my ankles
And the sun upon my head
I am moved to go deeper;
With a kick of my legs
I swim down to the depths
And it is there I find my music.
As the currents move and rest my soul
I forget the troubles of my world -
I'm alive in these waters:
Yes, they comfort and they sustain me,
Is what paradise must surely be,
It's my joy and my lover...

I do this work every day of my life,
I will do it until the day I die -
I'm a diver, diving for pearls.
