Tiny Turtle

I struggle, I’m a tiny turtle, on my own
Hatched from my shell – I am alone.
Mother long gone out to sea
Who is there to take care of me?

I struggle, I’m a tiny turtle, through the sand
I wiggle onwards over sandy land.
Soaring birds attacking me
I must find my way – to sanctuary.

I struggle, I’m a tiny turtle, in the sea
My flippers move now – instinctively.
Deeper now – I’m feeling free
Here’s my home where I’m meant to be!

I’ll struggle, I’m a tiny turtle, I’ll survive
Avoid those nets – to stay alive.
On my guard, alert each day
Far from predators – I stay away!

I’ll struggle, I’m a tiny turtle, I will grow
Following currents – anywhere they flow.
Jellyfish eat – one by one
In blue oceans – warmed by the sun.

In blue oceans – warmed by the sun.
In blue oceans – warmed by the sun.
In blue oceans – warmed by the sun.
