Vincent the whale felt out of place living underwater and dreamed of exploring space. One day, he rescued an astronaut named Augie from drowning. They became friends and Augie invited Vincent to see space aboard his rocket ship. Vincent enjoyed exploring space for months but began feeling homesick. Augie recognized the symptoms and convinced Vincent it was time to return home to his family and life under the sea, where he truly belonged.

With his mother, his father, and his pet sea star named Lee And life underwater was as easy as it came Everyone lived happily not a reason to complain But Vincent was different; he didnt seem to agree This submarine lifestyle was too boring and plain On top of it all while his friends would have fun Vincent would dream of life under the sun And this wandering mind would cause others to stare Cause they thought he was crazy and too far out there He was bullied by swordfish and ignored by the goldfish Harassed by the jellyfish and needled by the blowfish He was often left out from his tail to his spout Even laughed at and splashed at and whispered about Until one day a creature who hed never seen Got caught in his mouth, in the strings of baleen The creature it seemed was a man in a suit With fluffy white pants, a glass helmet, and boots The man, through the glass, said, Help me Im caught! Im not your fish food; Im a lost astronaut! So Vincent replied, Oh, I couldnt harm a fly! Im as gentle as June, Im as peaceful as pie But the astronaut, in fear, turned and wiggled and tossed He was floss for a whale and so terribly lost But just then out of the blue floated a piece of driftwood And the man in the suit did what any man would He pulled and he screamed to escape from the mouth Of Vincent the whale, who was as mean as a mouse But as he broke loose to swim away and hide The man saw the sadness from poor Vincents eyes So he stopped and he turned to ask, Why are you down? You live in the most beautiful of all places around! But Vincent just shrugged and said, You wouldnt understand, I just need a hole to stick my head in the sand. Well the astronaut paused and thought of what he could do To make Vincent feel better and turn his grey sky to blue First things first, said the man in the suit What is your name and how do you do? Vincent replied and politely gave him his name And said he liked stars and planets and planes
The astronaut smiled, and said, Well, my name is Augie
And I would shake your hand but my gloves are so soggy Then Vincent replied, Well, Id shake but I cant Cause you see Im whale, I have fins and not hands! Augie said, Fine, we can skip that part, And go back to talking about the planets and stars Cause wouldnt you believe, I like the same sort of thing? I like the sun and the moon and everything in between! Right off the bat, as if written in stone Vincent and Augie were friends to the bone They talked about space and the moon and the sun And the comets and planets and far away fun Then Vincent sat silent and sad so it seemed He thought none of this was real; it was only a dream Im stuck down here with this lousy seaweed With the lobsters and crabs and not a single green tree So Augie said, Vincent! Lets get out of this place! You can come along with me, well hang out in space! But how would we get there, you know I cant fly? My rocket of course, its our horse of the sky! Itll take us all over to any place we want to go To Jupiter or Mars or as far as Pluto We can spacewalk and moonwalk and tumble and twirl We can drift through the waves of the Milky Ways swirl! Just then Vincent smiled and said, Please, say no more! Just show me the way to your space shuttles door! And theres one other problem, say how will I fit? Augie said, Simple, Ill tow you on this trip Then once were in space, there everyone floats Like here on the water, big ships and small boats So as soon as they found Augies lost rocket ship They were off into space as Vince floundered and flipped And when they arrived Vincent couldnt believe His excitement inside he thought he never would leave For months and for days they floated and flew Through the bright stratosphere above the earth so blue They saw asteroids and meteors and UFOs too They traveled to planets with nine different moons And Vincent was happy as time went by But each day became harder and harder to unwind The excitement he had when he first arrived in space Was slowly subsiding as he got used to the place
And he realized that something inside him felt wrong
But he couldnt understand what didnt belong So one day while surfing the stars in the sky Vincent asked Augie if he knew the reason why And Augie thought Homesickness! said Augie; he knew it for sure And he told his friend Vincent of the very best cure Though this fun out in space could go on forever and ever Life and family at home is a one time only endeavor And after listening and remembering the deep ocean blue Vincent soon realized something he needed to do He had to return to his life under the sea To the ones who he loved like his pet sea star named Lee Cause life out in space wasnt made for a whale He was built for the sea with his fins, spout, and tail So Vincent and Augie shuttled out of the black They left without warning, without looking back And when they returned to the ocean so blue Vincent discovered what was honest and true And he blew and he blew through his blowhole up top His happiness grew and his love would not stop He kissed his poor mother who was sad since hed left She hadnt stopped crying each day she had wept And his father was glad that his son was okay He worried and worried while Vincent was away And Vincent remembered everything he loved He belonged here he knew it, he fit like a glove This is where I truly belong This is where I truly belong And while watching young Vincent discover his fate Augie was thinking of how he too couldnt wait To get back to his home and his beautiful wife To breathe the wild air and live a land mammals life So quickly he said his goodbyes and farewells And Vincent helped Augie find a boat with big sails It wont be long till we both meet again For this new friendship of ours is far from its end And now that we know where we each belong We will visit and share and sing faraway songs And remember our times exploring deep outer space And know that home is the most wonderful place
Where love never wanders or suddenly strays
Forever its with you, it wont go away And Vincent stayed happy and Augie the same They were both back at home in the place they were made Ill never ever leave young Vincent believed Vacation at times, but my home is the sea Ill never ever leave, now Vincent believed Im where I belong; my home is the sea.
