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
