It’s not very long now
This is our appeal
From the Dolphins themselves
Their cry that’s so real
To all of you drummers
Out there when you come
Bring out our heartbeat
In the form of your drum
The Japanese fool us
With their banging pipes
So please bang your drums
As many types
As You can muster as you can play
Let the embassy hear you
On this protest day
Shout to the heavens
Beat all those drums
Blow all those whistles
Although the wind numbs
Your fingers perhaps
You are here for the day
You are here for the dolphins
And here you will stay
We represent heartbeats
We represent soul
Bring your drums
Bring your whistles
Let the megaphones roll
Help us to help them
We have to be
One voice for the voiceless
For our friends of the sea
