Description

Hey, I'm just a fish in the sea

And guess what, there's plenty more of me

Always has been and hopefully always will be

But we don't taste the same, we're quite unique

See I'm aware I'm the subject of many a metaphor

Just a phrase for there being an abundance, and there always being one more

But I'd like to counter that with utmost vigour

For not every fish is one you would wish to seek

And hey, the water's the place I like to dwell

When I'm out of it I wouldn't do so well

Unless I'm under some magical Disney-like spell

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try something new

It's better to challenge yourself in new situations

Being stuck in a rut just causes frustration

Being the fish out of water can cause some great new adaptations

After all, a fish that left the seas long ago eventually became you

We're all unique in our choices and decisions

No saying is ever going to be perfect to every fish you see

I guess here is the climax to this vision

You too were once just another fish who left the sea
