lyrics

Into the ocean
Once fell a girl
When the boat of her father
Cracked like the shell of an egg

Down and down
Our little yolk went
Down and down,
Our little yolk went

Down and down
Our golden yolk went
Down and down,
Our golden yolk went

Until she figured
She could breathe under water
And swim with the fish
And dance with the turtles and moon

Behind the moon
She found a star
She said
I love you just the way
You are

How come girl
I don't shine the brightest
I'm not even one of the top
Million ones to do so

Oh, star, that doesn't matter
To me
You're the one that looks best
From under the sea

Oh, star
I wish you well
Star
I wish you farewell
Star
I wish you well
Star
I wish you

I wish you, I wish you
Many wishes more
I wish you're brighter
Than the moon
And the millions of

Millions
And millions
And millions
Of stars

Oh, little yolk
I wish that you floated
But you don't, little yolk
I wish that you floated
But you don't, little yolk
I wish that you floated
But you don't, little yolk
I wish that you floated

Oh, the time has come
To be alone
The fires burn
All along
In the dark

Mirrors show me
More eyes than I have
And creatures dance
With he shadows of stars

Oh what a wonderful world
Oh what a wonderful world
Oh what a wonderful world
Oh what a wonderful world

Butterflies sing
Of far away lands
Where gold is the colour
Of all trees and plants

Snails carry treasures
Inside of their shells
They share it with crows
That from their nest fell

Oh what a wonderful world
Oh what a wonderful world
Oh what a wonderful world
Oh what a wonderful world
