Dolphin, Dolphin, wild and free,
Ballet dancer of the sea,
From an ocean, filled with fish
You can dance when ever you wish,
Why then do you come near land
To take a mueli from my hand?
Do you come for conversation:
Do you like the touch sensation?
Do you come to say, "Release
My brethren in the name of peace?"
"Watch how I can leap and play,
Swimming many miles a day.
Captive dolphins just exist
Pining for the joys they've missed.
Now we've met, here, at the edge
Of our worlds, let's make a pledge
To strive for peace and liberty
For all the creatures of the Sea.
