Mmm…
Yeah…
Play it slow tonight…
Somewhere out there…
In the deep blue sea…
A little soul is learning how to swim…
[Verse 1]
Down where the ocean meets the quiet dark
There swims a lonely little baby shark
Born to the tide, born to the endless blue
Tryin’ to find his way like we all do
The water’s wide… the current runs strong
Some nights feel right, some nights feel wrong
But he keeps movin’ through the rolling deep
Even when the ocean won’t let him sleep
⸻
[Chorus – slow, aching]
Baby shark… doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Baby shark… drifting through the blue
Baby shark… doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Just a young soul searching for the truth
⸻
[Verse 2]
Mama shark watches from the quiet tide
Every little move, every turn he tries
She knows these waters can be cold and wide
But she lets him swim… she can’t stop the tide
She whispers soft through the ocean foam
“Every wandering heart must find its home
The world’s a wave you can’t outrun
You just keep swimmin’ ’til the rising sun…”
⸻
[Chorus – fuller band, sax crying]
Baby shark… doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Baby shark… life’s a restless sea
Baby shark… doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Searching for who he’s meant to be
⸻
[Verse 3 – deeper blues]
Daddy shark swims like a shadow in the night
A silent guardian in the fading light
He don’t say much, but the boy can see
The weight of the deep in his memory
Years of storms carved lines in his soul
Battles with the tide took their toll
But he stays close though the waters are dark
Watchin’ over that little baby shark
⸻
[Bridge – emotional build]
The sea don’t promise mercy or peace
Some waves lift you… some never cease
But every soul that the ocean sends
Must face the storm before it bends
And somewhere deep in the midnight blue
A little shark begins to feel it too
That the world is bigger than fear or pain
And every lost tide finds its way again…
⸻
[Final Chorus – powerful, gospel-like]
Baby shark… doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Baby shark… keep swimmin’ strong
Baby shark… doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Even when the night feels long
Baby shark… doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
The tide will guide you through
Baby shark… doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
The ocean remembers you
⸻
[Outro – quiet piano and sax]
And one day…
That little baby shark…
Won’t be so little anymore…
He’ll swim through storms
He’ll swim through sorrow
But if he listens close…
To the rhythm of the sea…
He’ll remember the song
That carried him home…
