[Verse 1]
One day while bathing in the sea
My talking dolphin spoke to me
He spoke to me in symphony
From freedom's peace beneath the sea
[Pre-Chorus 1]
He looked to me eyes full of love
Said, "Yes, we live behind the sun"
[Chorus 1]
Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Behind the sun
[Chorus 2]
The sun goes up and the sun gets down
But like the heart of the sun, my heart continues to pound
[Chorus 1]
Behind the sun
[Verse 2]
Now while I shower in the rain
I watch my dolphin swim away
The one who listens to the surf
Can feel the pulse beat of the earth
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And like my dolphin swims so free
The sun does swim into the sea
[Chorus 1]
Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Behind the sun (hahahaha)
Behind the sun
[Verse 3]
An island flying through the sky
One day your son might ask you why
And if your son should be a girl
She too might ask you of this world
[Pre-Chorus 3]
The sun shines sweet upon your beach
And yes my dolphin loves to teach
[Chorus 1]
Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Behind the sun
[Chorus 2]
The sun goes up and the sun gets down
But like the heart of the sun, my heart continues to pound
[Chorus 1]
Behind the sun
[Outro]
