Have you seen the dolphin at the marine park
Have you seen her smile, seen how she’s smart
Have you watched her do her wonderful tricks
But have you stopped to think how she ended behind bricks
A sad story lies behind that misleading smile
A story of a cruel capture from the wild
Taken from her family, now she is confined
In that sterile pool her freedom is denied
The sea is to dolphins as the air is to birds
But in her prison pool her nature is reversed
Where in the wild she swims for hundreds of miles
In that prison pool she swims in circles till she dies
