Why, Mrs. Sea?
by 2007 Waterworld participants with Gina Salá 

Why are you salty, Mrs. Sea

Are you Mrs. or a mystery

Nobody knows where you flow from you to me

Why are you salty, Mrs. Sea?

 

    Is it faulty plates, Mrs. Sea?

    Is there a volcano beneath thee?

    Or could it just be, part of your mystery?
    Why are you salty, Mrs. Sea?

 

I asked the crab, he did not know.

The whale slapped his tail and said it wasn’t so.

The jellyfish said its just – part of the flow

Why are you salty? We may never know…

 

(ooohhs)

 

When I asked the sea she turned to me

And the waves swelled taller than a redwood tree

She crashed upon the shore, but answered no more

So she remains a mystery.

 Yes she remains a mystery

 She remains a mystery.
