For a Moment

Okay, get a grip, get the hang of this flipper
It's like slipping two feet into one big huge slipper
This way is left, ooh, which way is right
Well, now I'll be circling in circles all night
Oh, so this is forward, no problem

I can't believe I can do this and more
To swim in the sea like I walk on the shore
Out of my shell, not closed up like a clam
Look out, sea, this is me, here I am

For a moment all of me
Is alive and at home in the sea
I'm swirling and twirling so graceful and grand
Not stubbing my toes, getting stuck in the sand
For a moment life is cool
I'm splashing the world's biggest pool
This is more than my thoughts ever thought it could be
For a moment, just a moment, lucky me

If only for one moment
I had shared with you all I know
The sea wouldn't be a mystery
Oh, why did you have to go

Everything's newer and brighter and bluer
And truer to life than before
Watch me soar

For a moment I can shine
Got a grin and a fin that works fine
My fingers are wrinkly, I really don't care
If all of my curls have curled out of my hair
For a moment I can feel
All the dreams I've been dreaming are real
Wish my mother could hear it, the sea is my song
For a moment, just a moment, I belong

I will find you, my darling
And the moment that I do
I'll hold you close, my Melody
And sing the song of the sea with you
Sing the song (for a moment) of the sea (just a moment)
With you (I belong)
