Mermaids by Tip Jordan Lyrics

Still under water, swimming above my sorrows,
The entrapment of the past makes for a harder tomorrow.
Though I remain a mermaid, from another world yet still humane,
I want to live free with the rest of the youth,
In mind, golden, and untainted.

In every bit of truth there’s me and you.
Some shell of perseverance allows us to escape the sharks from these deep waters,
Though our scales are few,
We still own our all of colors.
