I'll Swim I'll Swim
Kelly Family · Other Songs - Kelly Family
Who's going to rescue them
Who says that Noah is going to
Come around once again
I'll swim I'll swim I'll swim
And I'll never stop until I get across the sea
Mama, Mama, Mama
Why did you have to leave
I need you now
Love was just a dream
Love was just a dream
All the animals in the world
What have we done to them
Who's going to tell our children
Where and why they're all gone
I'll run I'll run I'll run
And I'll never stop until I get to be free
Mama, Mama, Mama
Why did you have to leave
I need you now
Love was just a dream
Love was just a dream
Stop killing, stop killing, stop killing animals
Stop killing, stop killing, stop killing animals
I can't take no more
I'm drifting to the shore
I can't take no more
I'm knocking on you door
I'll swim I'll swim I'll swim
And I'll never stop until I get across the sea
Mama, Mama, Mama
Why did you have to leave
I need you now
I need you now
Need you now
