Little Girl

Little girl, little girl,
Sinking beneath the waves.
Who has pushed you down there?
Did you not learn to behave?

Sinking faster, sinking faster,
Little girl gone astray.
Has your heart been broken?
Did you not get your way?

Counting breaths, counting breaths
Water begins to invade.
When will it happen?
When will you begin to fade?

Rock bottom, rock bottom,
Rough sand hits her face.
Will you stop now?
Will you plead your sorry case?

Swallowed whole, swallowed whole,
In the belly of a whale.
All by herself now,
With no one to tell her tale.

Little girl, little girl,
Alone in a big fish.
She met her loving Maker
Who gave her her one greatest wish.

Revived now, revived now
To do the Lords will.
Will she do it?
Will she do it?

Oh, little girl!
