Lyrics

How beautiful do the words have 2 be
Before they conquer every heart?
How will u know if I'm even in the right key
If u make me stop before I start?

If I came back as a dolphin
Would u listen 2 me then?
Would u let me be your friend?
Would u let me in?
U can cut off all my fins
But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let u tell me how 2 swim
And I'll come back again as a dolphin

Why does my brother have 2 go hungry
When u told him there was food 4 all?
This is the man that stands next 2 the man
That stands 2 catch u when u fall (oh!)

If I came back as a dolphin
Would u listen 2 me then?
Would u let me be your friend?
Would u let me in?
U can cut off all my fins
But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let u tell me how 2 swim
And I'll come back again as a dolphin

If I'm under water, will u find me? (find me {x4})
Will u shine a light and try 2 guide me?
It's happened before, I've knocked on your door
But u wouldn't let me in

How beautiful do the words have 2 be
Before they conquer every heart? (oh!)

If I came back as a dolphin
Would u listen 2 me then?
Would u let me be your friend?
Would u let me in?
U can cut off all my fins
But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let u tell me how 2 swim
Come back in the end as a dolphin (oh)
(I'll come back, baby)
(Let me in, let me in) as a dolphin
(Be my friend) dolphin
(Yeah, yeah)

Dolphin
As a dolphin
As a dolphin
