[Verse]
I look at the sea, I see schools of fish
They gather and make patterns
I dive in, I submerge
Hold my breath for a minute and rise
I look at that hake, I look at that monkfish, I look at that octopus
I look at that catfish, I look at that rockfish
A stingray, a cuttlefish
A small family of seals
Cold water currents
An octopus swimming
A yellow coral reef
Decorates the bottom
Warm tones
I look closely, I see plastics
Nets and fishing lines
Traps, waste, and remnants
That go into a turtle’s nose
Fishing gear
In a humpback whale's stomach
Empty oceans
By 2048
The number of fish has declined
Maybe we don’t fully understand the cycle
Do you want sushi or cooked fish?
[Chorus]
I look at the sea and think
That if what’s dying now were born
There would be schools of fish
And not these fishing boats
There would be huge corals
And not all these baits
That’s why I always defend
That sea creatures remain
That sea creatures remain in the sea
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
I look at the sea and think
That if what’s dying now were born
There would be schools of fish
And not these fishing boats
There would be huge corals
And not all these baits
That’s why I always defend
That sea creatures remain
That sea creatures remain in the sea
