i’m a black mermaid from the bottom of the sea i will teach you how to love me into greatness i will lead you ’cause i’m a black mermaid nothing rarer you will find i am here for you to love me i’ve been here for all o’ time
and i will wait for you to see me and to understand that a woman can restore the soul of any broken man if you can look beyond the waves and just believe in me….. i am the lighthouse standing strong atop the rocks and sand
