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 won't fight back

They don't know how

They won't fight back

They won't fight back

They won't fight back

They won't fight back
