Lyrics

Belly of the Whale- Ira Scott Levin/ music Ira and Julia Levin based on Jonah
If I turn tail and try to run away and end up lost at sea.
If I end up in the belly of a whale, won't you rescue me?
Let me say before death takes its toll...If I'm swallowed, let me be swallowed whole. Just give me time and I will see, only in surrender can I ever hope to be
who I am: truly free, who I am: truly me.
If I turn tail and try to run away and end up lost at sea.
If I end up in the belly of a whale, won't you rescue me?
And if I'm down here just playing a role, Let me glimpse behind the mask to see my soul. Just give me time and I will see, only in forgiveness can I ever hope to be
Who I Am: truly free. Who I AM: truly me.
If I turn tail and try to run away and end up lost at sea.
If I end up in the belly of a whale, won't you rescue me? Won't you rescue me?
