LYRICS: CHORUS
We live our lives at sea (Sea Turtles)
Treading water carefully (Sea Turtles)
We live our lives at sea (Sea Turtles) Crossing oceans steadily
Surviving 100 million years and counting

VERSE 1
Every few years females go ashore
Laying turtle eggs in the sand once more
Amazing, trail blazing

When our hatchlings wiggle free
T hey have to get to the open sea
It’s scary, be wary

CHORUS

VERSE 2
Some say our odds are really low
One in a thousand will grow to be old
But we’re, we are still here
We’ve outlived the dinosaurs
But fishermen’s nets, pollution and more
Are waiting and taking

BRIDGE
And our numbers are fading fast
People take our eggs our shells put trash
in our water, we just want our daughters and sons to be free

CHORUS
. . . Crossing oceans endlessly

SOLO

CHORUS
We live our lives at sea (Sea Turtles)
Treading water carefully (Sea Turtles)
We live our lives at sea (Sea Turtles) Crossing oceans endlessly
Surviving 100 million years, surviving swimming through all our fears
Surviving 100 million years and counting
