Daddy will you plunge your fist into the sea
You are the one that set the waves in motion YEAHHH
So send the set of your fingerprints to me
Daddy will you plunge your fist into to the ocean yeeeyy OHHH
Daddy will you plunge your fist into the sea
You are the one that set the waves in motion YEAHH
There I was an hour ago
Did not know if the wind would
Slowly blow me to the sea OHH
A little bit later on, I found
I even know I am safer on the ground
I prefer the mystery
Daddy will you plunge your fist into to the ocean YEAHH
Oh will you put your fist into the sea
You are the one who set the waves in motion
So send the set of your fingerprints to me
I Dare I gotta a pat a little longer
A Pat a little bit stronger to make the drop
Onto the face-of the-grace-of the waves
And then I went a bit deeper a little bit steeper
Putting my toes upon the nose of the dayyyyy
And even on a bottom on an empty cup
And down its mine and looking up
Cuz I know I never through ou yeaahhh
And I will never criticize when I am coming off my ride
Cuz it all comes back to you
Daddy will you plunge your fist into to the ocean yeee
Daddy will you plunge your fist into the sea
You are the one that set the waves in motion ohh
So send the set of your fingerprints to me

You are the one that set the waves in motion ohh
