Where Bullets Cannot Swim

I want to live under the sea
Where bullets cannot swim
And monsters cannot find me.

In calm waters beneath wild waves
Where gunfire cannot be heard
And there’s no need to act brave.

I want to live where I can float,
Feel no weight upon my back,
Forget scary stories I’ve been told.

Yet I know even in the sea
Evil creatures dwell,
reminding me
Peace on earth is just a dream.
