I hear my song in the sky above
Even as I swim through this darkness
I'm a diver, diving for pearls
It's the life I was born to, it's the only one I know
Diving down for treasure
I'm a diver, diving for pearls
With the waves around my ankles
And the sun upon my head
I am moved to go deeper;
With a kick of my legs
I swim down to the depths
And it is there I find my music
As the currents move and rest my soul
I forget the troubles of my world
I'm alive in these waters:
Yes, they comfort and they sustain me
Is what paradise must surely be
It's my joy and my lover
I do this work every day of my life
I will do it until the day I die
I'm a diver, diving for pearls
