【VERSE 1】 A sunset over the sea I saw a whale along the shore Beyond the waves painted crimson It melted into the setting sun And quietly blew its spray It happened in just a moment So fleeting, I was afraid to look away I could only stand there And watch it disappear 【PRE-CHORUS】 Hey, tell me In an ocean so vast Do you ever feel lonely? Down in the deep, deep sea Where even the light can't reach What do you think about As you swim? 【CHORUS】 When you break the surface And see the sky shining bright How does it make you feel? With a body so much bigger than mine And a world so much wider than mine How much of it do you know? If I were a whale Would all these little troubles in my heart Just dissolve into the waves? Ah, if I were a whale Without deciding where I had to go I would simply follow where I’m drawn And swim wherever I please 【BRIDGE】 The ocean at night Is dark as far as I can see Even the light of the stars Can never reach that deep To distant companions You send out a voice Not knowing if it will ever reach them Again and again You let it echo through the sea Is that voice A cry? Or are you Simply singing? 【FINAL CHORUS】 When you break the surface And see the sky shining bright Does it make you happy? With a body so much bigger than mine How much of this endless world Do you still want to know? If I were a whale Would all these little troubles in my heart Disappear like bubbles rising through the sea? Ah, if I were a whale Without thinking about tomorrow I would simply follow where I’m drawn And swim Wherever the ocean takes me
