It has often been my dream
To live with one who wasn抰 there
Like an ocean fish who swam upstream
Through nets, by hooks, and hungry bears.
When the water grew less deep
My fins were aching from the strain
I抦 swimming in my sleep
I know I can抰 go back again.
Got the will to love, the will to love.
I抣l never lose it, never lose the will to love,
Never lose the will.
It抯 like something from up above.
I can be like a fire in the night
Always warm and giving off light
But there comes a time when I shine too bright
Oh, I抦 just a fire in the night.
And now my fins are in the air
And my belly抯 scraping on the rocks
I still think someone really cares
And I抣l keep swimming till I stop.
Got the will to love, the will to love.
I抣l never lose it, never lose the will to love,
Never lose the will.
It抯 like something from up above.
I抦 like a singer on the stage
With the golden lights and liquid rage
Down from the mountains to the sea
Cool running love keeps cleansing me.
It keeps my gills from getting dry
But it distorts things in my eyes
Sometimes I see what really isn抰 there
Like my true lover, and I care.
Got the will to love, the will to love.
I抣l never lose it, never lose the will to love,
Never lose the will.
It抯 like something from up above.
Sometimes I ramble on and on
And I repeat myself till all my friends are gone
And get lost in snow and drown in rain
And never feel the same again.
I remember the ocean from where I came
Just one of millions all the same
But somewhere someone calls my name
I抦 a harpoon dodger, and I can抰, won抰 be tamed.
Got the will to love, the will to love.
I抣l never lose it, never lose the will to love,
Never lose the will.
It抯 like something from up above.
Baby, if I see boredom in your eyes
I抣l know my river has run dry
But I won抰 turn back with that lonely tide
I bought that ticket and I抣l take that ride.
If we meet along the way
Please sway beside me, let us sway together
Our tails together and our fins and mind
We抣l leave this water and let our scales shine
In the sun above and the sky below
So all the water and earth will know
It has often been my dream
To live with one who wasn抰 there.
