SARGASSO SONG We are born in the spring in the warm Sargasso Sea and we float like leaves on the tide Then we swim for our lives Not all of us survive For only the strong reach the other side Though I live my life In a river far from home I’ll never forget where I came from
I swim a up from the shore And find that more and more I’ve left the Sargasso sea But there’s never a day When I don’t think of a way To the waters of the warm Sargasso Sea.
