I'm taking frightened steps in this weird looking land
Where all the people act just like some kind of insects
And I know I should let them wake me from my dream
But I fear they might chew me with their thoughts that look like jaws

They buzz like busy bees and scamper like ants
But still they're so stunning that they make me fall down on my knees
Thrilling is the way they act, but is it killing too?
I'm too afraid to try and pull myself into their ranks

They might tickle my heart
And then hurt me
Make my world even more hazy...
I was born from the fog sailing on the sea
Should I now learn to dance around like a little bee?

Oh, how I wish that I could fly just like the little birds
But would that set my soul free from all its fears and all its dreams?
Sometimes when I wish and start to rise up to the air
I soon find myself crawling in the ground like a snake

They might tickle my skin
Make me crazy
Make my world even more hazy...
But what if the thing they could offer me
Was a golden ring?

Could I get married and still feel free?
Could I walk on the earth and still live in the sea?
'Cause I am half a woman, half a seahorse
And I am half a bird and half a snake

It's fascinating, all the songs the sea gave to me
But lonely are the melodies and misty are the tones
And on the shore my people stand
Waiting with the ring
Turning into butterflies and flying with their wings

Could I get married and still feel free?
Could I walk on the earth and still live in the sea?
'Cause I am half a woman, half a seahorse
And I am half a bird and half a snake
