The Sea The Sea

A Cry For Help


The sea, the sea, the eternal sea,
What is the song that you sing to me.

Is it the mournful song of the whales
Singing sad songs of pollution trails;
Of oil and plastic and metals that rust,
Of breaking the bond of humanity's trust,
Is it the song of whole species lost,
Of fishing too much at a terrible cost.

How can I help with my ink and my pen,
What can I say to my fellow men.

"Tell humankind what they do to the sea
Can only reflect in the health of me,
Tell them the oceans are crying in pain,
Asking for help to be healthy again.
Tell them that now, if each person tries,
We'll know you have listened and heard our cries."

The sea, the sea, the eternal sea,
This is the song that you sing to me.
