Over the blue ocean waves
Gliding along with the breeze
Gravity pulls
Like a magnet
Down into the waters
Down in the depths to the bottom
Birds can't go in water
It's like a fantasy
Too extravagant for realism
Too dangerous for consideration
I'm not flying
I'm falling
Into the ocean
And under the blue
