Lyrics A Turtle's Dream - Abbey Lincoln

A Turtle's Dream

Often I sing when I’m all alone
And no one can see me but me
I think and wonder what i am
And how i came to be
I can swim the ocean
And it’s deep and wide
And in the house above me
Abide
Maybe one day i’ll fly like an eagle
Fly like a bird and go and go
Soar like an eagle
Walk like a lion
Although it won’t be i know
But i can swim the ocean
And it’s deep and wide
And in the house above me
Abide
I guess the time has come for me to go
And look around for something, oh
Just moving in my house you know
Moving slowly is not really bad
Moving slowly you see
The wonders of the deep
Just waiting there for me
And i can swim the ocean
And it’s deep and wide
And in the house above me
Abide
And in the house above me
Abide…
