voice, a real voice. It was calling out to her from the waters. The other two didn’t hear it

               at first. They were too busy finding sand dollars along the shore line. Chellejary felt one
               of the most strongest pulls towards the water she had ever experienced in her life. “It

               was as if the hand of the sea was Grabbing my whole body and pulling me towards her.”
               She wrote later in her diary.  She kept thinking about the call and what she heard.

               When she fell asleep that night a song came to her.

               Ooo waaaaaha oo wa oo

               Swim now my children,
                Forever away,
                Down to the deep
               Of the ocean,
               Sing now my children,
               And lure men away,
               Out from the bay
               To deep waters,

               Oo oo oo oo ooo ooo ooooo
               (Alluring whisper) Come with us

               Ooo ah oo ooo oooo
               tide in, waves out, there’s ships with gold,
               Sunrise moonlight, the deep blue ski,
               tide in, waves out, there's ships about,
               Sunrise moonlight, Just like the tide,
               Waves in waves out , were all about,
               Change … change…
               Men.

               (Whispers) Now sing...

               Ooo ah oo ooo oooo
               Come to the waters, swim with our sister,
               Laugh with our brothers, come to deep waters,
               Oo ooo ooowahhha oo oooo

               Sunrise moonlight, Just like the tide,
               tide in, waves out, there's ships about,
               Sunrise moonlight, Just like the tide,
               Waves in waves out , were all about,
               Change … change…
               Men.

                      Chellejary awoke and quickly wrote it down. “It just made me want to sing along
                   ​
               with them.” She said. Once she finished Chellejary sent a copy to each of her girls later
               that night. An they absolutely loved it. Two days later the girls took another trip out to
