In Deep Blue
(Sea Songs Pt.1)*
I wrote this piece for my youngest who has Aspergers and can find things challenging at times...
On a holiday in Greece he decided (off his own bat) to try scuba diving...after the shock of the request settled in we of course said 'Go for it!'...he went off by himself, signed up, faced his insecurities and did the dive...we were very proud of him and so I wrote this song all about it!

* Number 1 in a potential canon of songs about the Sea (just like we did previously with Heaven Songs!)

Lyrics

A brave boy stands on a foreign shore and looks at the waterline
Up here in the Sunlight, well everything to him feels fine

Going to leave the warmth of the comfort zone and plunge into the unknown
Move from the air above the surf to the mysteries of below, down below

Diving into the Deep Blue
Let the waves push over your head
An underwater land where the colours change
As you glide across the grey rock base and follow the current slow
Angel fish swim along Anemone row, Anemone row

Now he's back on dry land and he tells us of his tale
Total fear and wonderment, still tipping the scales
