Watched your development, We
Saw that you went down the nuclear road
And are shocked by the deaths in Taiji
Sonar its we, who know sonar
And you with your weapons of war
And the japanese Nation seems filled with elation
At harming us for evermore.
Innocence, playful and kindly
They are the qualities, we
Expound in our lives yes of freedom
In the bounteous depths of the sea
Where your horrible chemical toxins
That you tip off your ships everyday
And that oil you allow to impregnate us all
For once down here, its going to stay
You may live in your mansions of money
And look up at the greatest blue sky
You may think you can plunder
and not hear the thunder
Thats coming for you which is why
We beach ourselves trying to warn you
Something is so very wrong
The cetaceans are really the angels
Communicating with their song
But alas your too base for the message
Machines seem to rule your new world
There are a few sensitive humans
But for the most part you seem hurled
In to the seine nets the dredgers great chains
And the corals and sea life and, we
The dolphins we die from the hooks and the gaffes, and of course the great toxicity
A whole raft of chemical run offs
Its hellish to live in the sea
And the cove at Taiji is no place to be
It runs red with our blood now daily
What gruesome desires these people possess
Trapping us with that stressed sound
And seeing our breathren suffering stress
Cut to ribbons and just left to drowned
Well there’s no way that we’d leave our family
We are sentients more so than you
Who could cut us to size and laugh at our cries
That apparently is what they do
Decapitated with machete’s of steel
in front of school children
and how do they feel?
do they go home and say
Mum, do you know, what I saw
a dolphin a beautiful
soul on the floor
up in front of me
What does she say
Its alright dear
they are mammals, okay
Don’t waste your tears
They cannot feel pain
And they have no fears
So dont cry again
Or does she say
Dear Child I’m so sorry you
Witnessed Today
What some fishermen do
The death of a sea angel
Whose soul now flies
Up in the blue
the bluest of skies
Try to remember to pray
for their soul
We’ll pray Ric O Barry
can soon get control
And the sea shepherd Pirates
they are on the case
More volunteers join
and the whole human race
Is on to it we will save them
dear child
Save the sea angels
who live in the wild.
