Blue whale, blue whale, life has turned on its side
Another motherless pup left with nowhere to hide
You hauled onto on a deck, humiliated incomplete
Hacked to pieces while your heart still beats
Blue whale, blue whale, life will not be denied
Your voice was heard the first time you cried
The tears filled the sea and rose up the shores
Splintering the timbers of whaling station doors
Blue whale, blue whale, life has been horrified
At the senseless slaughter others have justified
Your journey is ending the beginning is near
Those who were blind will be made to see clear
Blue whale, blue whale, life’s oceans deep and its wide
All who have hunted you will one day be tried
Your tears in the ocean were seen by a few
Now they are many, they rally and fight for you |  |
