"Destined Minds"

IS THERE GOLD UNDER THE OCEAN

Is there gold under the ocean
surely there is for the reflection
I see on ocean surface of
shimmering glistening flecks

Is there gold under the ocean
of soft yellow element resist
the salted corosion that yields
a single precious pearl

and beneath the blue of goodness
lies a heart of gold
the beauty in the coral reefs
that sway with evenings tide

Is there gold under the ocean
and such the beauty of gold
that decorates the oceans floor
and wonderous that life which

swims in and out amongst the reef
that stretches for miles
and is now the worlds heritage
that crowns Australian shores
