Where Bullets Cannot Swim

I want to live under the sea

Where bullets cannot swim

And monsters cannot find me.

In calm waters beneath wild waves

Where gunfire cannot be heard

And there’s no need to act brave.

I want to live where I can float,

Feel no weight upon my back,

Forget scary stories I’ve been told.

Yet I know even in the sea

Evil creatures dwell,

reminding me

Peace on earth is just a dream.
