“Beneath the Waves“

Sung to “Blowin’ in the Wind”

There once was a time when roamed free,
On mountains, valleys and streams.
They lived without fear from woman, or man,
And would live forever, it seems.
How many times must the creatures all die,
Before they are gone from this earth?
How many years must we live with this lie.
That our needs equal more than their worth?
The answer, my friends, is found beneath the waves,
The answer is found beneath the waves.
We all have a role we must play in this world,
To keep all the creatures from harm.
To spread out the message to both friends and foes,
And sometimes to send an alarm.
How many names should we add to the list
Of species forever gone?
How many tears must we shed for the lost
To ignorance, fear, oblivion?
The answer, my friend, is found beneath the waves,
The answer is found beneath the waves
The answer, my friend, is found beneath the waves
The answer is found beneath the waves
