If I were a fish swimming in the coral reef,
I’d flash my fancy colors at the sun whose light shines down on me.
And I would thank the sun that warms the creatures of the sea
And helps to grow the algae and the coral life that feed the fish.

Chorus:
All day I’d swim and sway to the rhythm of the ocean waves.
And nibble on seaweed treats that are so good to eat.
And if I saw a hungry shark, I might hide behind a rock
Or blend into the underwater world of many colors.

If I were a fish I would love to be in school with other fish
A lot like me and move together through the sea.
And when I needed rest, I’d hang out in a coral cave
Or hitch a free ride on a sea turtle that is my friend.

Chorus

If I were a fish I would share the reef with octopus,
Anemones, sponges, worms, sea horses and much more.
And every one of us would be different from each other, oh but
We would learn to live together in our oceanic world home.

Chorus

And if I had a wish it would be that people everywhere
Protect the coral reef and keep the ocean water clean.
So that fish like me can have a chance to be alive and raise a family
In our beautiful world under the sea. That’s what I’d wish,
If I were a fish . . . If I were a fish.
