[00:15.71] I was living very happy
[00:20.14] When they came to me
[00:24.62] Offered riches for the pearls
[00:27.96] Way down in the sea
[00:31.23] So I became a pearl diver
[00:35.56] Held my breath as I went down
[00:39.85] Caught my foot between two rocks
[00:42.35] And drowned
[00:47.12] Now I am sitting under water
[00:51.20] Watching things fall in
[00:55.14] Sinking with the weight of knowledge
[00:58.59] Greed, desire and sin
[01:10.77] Now I am eternal witness
[01:14.54] To the tide that man has turned
[01:18.46] Pity he will never know
[01:22.67] The things that I have learned
[01:25.89] The submarines go underneath
[01:30.18] The battleships above
[01:33.11] And the divers keep on coming
[01:36.67] Putting prices on their love
[01:40.81] And I can taste the toxic waters
[01:44.63] Hear every splash of waste
[01:48.68] I see how man has used the sea
[01:52.35] Diluting his distaste
[02:04.51] The fishes tell me they would like to
[02:08.48] Throw a hook up on the land
[02:12.28] Snag a man and drag him under
[02:16.23] Put him in a can
[02:19.73] Watch him fight to breathe the water
[02:23.49] Buy him in a store
[02:27.09] Cut him up to be their dinner
[02:31.20] Throw the bones on shore
[02:35.33] Dump their garbage overground
[02:38.60] Invade the air with greed
[02:42.51] Exploit the wind and use the land
[02:46.39] For things that they don't need
[03:05.42] I was living very happy
[03:09.61] Until they came to me
[03:13.37] Now I'm a pearl diver
[03:17.00] Buried in the sea
[03:21.96] My dream is to be cremated
[03:24.58] Not swaying with the tide
[03:27.91] But because I wanted more
[03:30.84] Than God had given me
[03:33.35] I died
[03:43.82] Because I wanted more
[03:46.26] Than God had given me
[03:49.63] I died
