We climbed up onto land, on our feet
even into the sky and the trees
we've done so well for ourselves
we'll go back to sea and bring
all of the wonders we wrought on the land
with our benevolent hand
things a fin can't grasp
And now we're gonna see how well
we can swim with our technology
our pink lungs and our unwebbed feet
our hurt pride and a reckoning
we'll go back to the sea
Lonely and forlorn forever
All these storms we've had to weather
Despite having everything
We reached out to the stars and deep
into atoms and particle beams
we are so proud of ourselves
we'll go back to the sea and tell
legends of moons and red planet memes
where there's no water to breath
a prodigal son's silly dreams
And now we're gonna see how well
we can swim with our technology
our pink lungs and our unwebbed feet
our hurt pride and a reckoning
we'll go back to the sea
Say what you want about the human race
Deny your existential birthing place
Ask the father god if maybe he can see
when will mother sea reclaim her progeny
Do you remember when we used to swim in circles?
Guppy in the middle, hide and seek among the coral
Ollie ollie oxen-free and flip the youngest turtle
Don't tell mom I went into the seaweed again
I was looking for the shark
I thought we might be friends
