Tell Them Dolphin

The sea is deeply blue I wonder if I'm too And I wonder if I am Or am I sleeping through A vivid ocean sound A fishing net surrounds No way out for the helpless dolphin Tell them dolphin About the net of fears How you've been staying still all of these years How other fish just fail to see the purpose But dolphins need They need to surface And sometimes I can see A dolphin swimming free It might get close and play But always drift away I am afraid to hit the ground To leave no trace and drown To wake up in this lonely town For another day at the ocean To a notion that will wear me out For too many years I lived other stories But this one is real It's my allegory The dolphin The ocean The fisherman's net I chose to be captured But should I regret I searched for the simple Ignored and suppressed The passions I had I just settled for less But I've learned my lesson It took me some time To change the direction And ask for what's mine
