The water moves and moves though it's warm,
The little girl got carried out in the storm,
She cried and she tried to get back to the shore,
But the tide took her out, took her out some more...
She drifted, unsafe, unsupported, endlessly,
But something made her float 'till suddenly-
A boat came by, the captain thought she was dead,
She was floating, and bright little fish swam around her head,
Red and blue fish followed along, like flowers in her hair,
The captain cried at such a sight, saying "get her in here."
When the man touched her to lift her out of the water,
Her eyes opened, as the equatorial sun burned hotter,
Surprising the men and they brought her in, and they found,
for days and days she had been floating around,
Out in the ocean, exhausted, floating endlessly,
And they got her back to her already grieving family...
The sailor said that he would never forget the view,
Of the girl in the green ocean water, with fishes red and blue....
