G F C D
Two days be fore the moon was round
G Em C D
You felt the urge of sun's light beams
G F C D
The muffled world of dolphin sound
C G D D7 G
Slipped down and back into your dreams
[G 8th fret] - [G 7th fret] - [G 5th fret]
G F C D
For nine full months that passed be fore
G Em C D
You learned of all life's ancient rhymes
G F A C D
Then [] mother [] sensed [] farther [] shore
C G D D7 G
And brought you forth into these times
[G 8th fret] - [G 7th fret] - [G 5th fret]
Am D
So taste the air of your new world
C C/b Am G
And gently guide us to your mind

And holds to heart the dolphin kind

We met you first in your father's songs

And mother's smile and waters wild
C G D D7 G
It's in this place you now be long
G F C D
I know you know of all these things
G Em C D
And feel the faith of a dolphin's sigh
G F C D
For you were born on silver wings
C G DD7 G
To taste the high blown crystal sky
[G 8th fret] - [G 7th fret] - [G 5th fret]

So sing one day to all of us

The songs you learned in dolphin lair

Giving hope to life as all we must

And teach us how their grace to share
