It has often been my dream   To live with one who wasn't there   Like an ocean fish who swam upstream   Through nets, by hooks, and hungry bears.      When the water grew less deep   My fins were aching from the strain   I'm swimming in my sleep   I know I can't go back again.      Got the will to love, the will to love.   I'll never lose it, never lose the will to love,   Never lose the will.   It's like something from up above.      I can be like a fire in the night   Always warm and giving off light   But there comes a time when I shine too bright   Oh, I'm just a fire in the night.      And now my fins are in the air   And my belly's scraping on the rocks   I still think someone really cares   And I'll keep swimming till I stop.      Got the will to love, the will to love.   I'll never lose it, never lose the will to love,   Never lose the will.   It's like something from up above.      I'm like a singer on the stage   With the golden lights and liquid rage   Down from the mountains to the sea   Cool running love keeps cleansing me.      It keeps my gills from getting dry   But it distorts things in my eyes   Sometimes I see what really isn't there   Like my true lover, and I care.      Got the will to love, the will to love.   I'll never lose it, never lose the will to love,   Never lose the will.   It's like something from up above.      Sometimes I ramble on and on   And I repeat myself till all my friends are gone   And get lost in snow and drown in rain   And never feel the same again.      I remember the ocean from where I came   Just one of millions all the same   But somewhere someone calls my name   I'm a harpoon dodger, and I can't, won't be tamed.      Got the will to love, the will to love.   I'll never lose it, never lose the will to love,   Never lose the will.   It's like something from up above.      Baby, if I see boredom in your eyes   I'll know my river has run dry   But I won't turn back with that lonely tide   I bought that ticket and I'll take that ride.      If we meet along the way   Please sway beside me, let us sway together   Our tails together and our fins and mind   We'll leave this water and let our scales shine   In the sun above and the sky below   So all the water and earth will know      It has often been my dream   To live with one who wasn't there.
