our life in the water is not what it once was
I was thinking yesterday that I might go ashore
but this is where I'll stay
and this is where I live
as I can
as I can
oh, as I can
as I can
friends of mine were taken
taken to a theme park
it's one thing to move on your own
it's another to be moved
I watch out for the boats
and I watch out for the nets
as I can
as I can
oh, as I can
as I can
to think it's enough
to think it's enough
a sea is full of beauty
the world is full of light
and I think about my children
and I feel they still fight
I wish the water clean
and I wish the inlands green
as I can
as I can
oh, as I can
as I can
as I, as I, as I can
as I can
