[00:00.00]I'm a Pearl Diver - Microphones
[00:05.70]I'm a hard working pearl diver
[00:11.32]I spend the night on the shore
[00:15.63]I'm a breath holding pearl diver
[00:20.80]I live on the ocean floor
[00:27.90]I was born in 78 and
[00:30.52]I grew up on an island
[00:32.61]I learned early on the value of the pearl
[00:37.93]I aged and my lungs aged
[00:40.18]And my strength
[00:41.16]It grew and grew
[00:42.61]Until I set off out into the world
[00:52.33]I tried beaches and bays that
[00:55.16]I found along the way
[00:57.45]And I made my pay from
[00:59.93]The pearls I found each day
[01:02.47]Sleeping on the sand scars on my hands
[01:07.03]Here's how I lived my final day
[01:36.86]I woke up early this one morning
[01:41.18]Cause I had a weird feeling about that day
[01:46.68]I should have noticed
[01:48.78]The grey cloudy warning
[01:51.04]But I swam mysely out into the bay
[01:56.60]I dove down deep to feel around
[02:01.41]Between the rocks and the mud
[02:06.34]There was a sound
[02:08.15]That dropped down towards me
[02:11.17]A pearly voice from above
[02:18.01]It said"Wait around
[02:21.14]Make yourself drown
[02:23.68]I'll be right down
[02:25.52]And we'll go to town
[02:27.78]And forever just float around"
[02:35.35]So I waited and waited
[02:37.61]And waited and waited
[02:39.97]And my weight went away
[02:42.32]And just went off
[02:44.75]Ssssalty water poured into my lungs
[02:49.92]And my precious pearl
[02:51.47]Diver's hands just went soft
