Whale Song

Lyrics

The sun was in clouds, the sun looked out
 Exposed a trail of mist and spouts
 Ships followed the ancient lead
 Deceiving friends under the sea
 ♪
 Wow, imagine that?
 They won't fight back
 I got a theory on that
 A whale's heart is as big as a car
 A whaler's thought must be smudged by the dark
 They won't fight back, I'm sure they know how
 Means they love or are too proud
 They won't fight back, I'm sure they know how
 Means they love or too proud
 They swim, it's really free
 It's a beautiful thing to see
 They sing
 ♪
 Hunters of land, hunters of sea
 Exploit anything for money
 I refer to anybody
 That takes advantage of what that is free
 (They won't fight back)
 It's only a thought that makes it seem right
 What you don't see is because of your sight
 Take what you want, kill what you can
 That's just one way of the mind of man
 Take their lives, sell their parts
 But there is not taking of their hearts
 If I was lost at sea
 That harpoon boat in front of me
 It's the whale I'd like to be
 ♪
 They won't fight back
 They won't fight back
 They won't fight back
 They won't fight back
 They won't fight back
 They don't know how
 They won't fight back
 They won't fight back
 They won't fight back
