MICHAEL

My name is Michael

I live by the ocean

I live on an island

I came to see the whales

Took a ferry from Vancouver

To an island filled with trees

Drove up and down the highway

Everywhere I smell the sea

I make colour pictures of whales dancin'

My name is Michael...

I have a big brother

He moved to the city

He likes to drive a fast car

Me I'd like to sail the sea

He dances with his girlfriends

I dance with whales, whales...

My name is Michael

I came to see the whales

One day soon I'll row my boat ashore

I'll tell the world about the whales that I explore

I'll keep their whereabouts a secret safe with me

And oh how they live in harmony

My name is Michael…
