Just Because you don't think it's gonna affect you Doesn't mean that it won't or that it's going to Someday the whales will stop to sing and then what will we do I know i'm just one voice, but I know it's true I was playing on the beach waiting for a wave Trying to figure out just how they could be saved The ocean is so close to me but yet so far away Is it just the giver of life or a watery grave I was sleeping on the couch watching the TV My friends were all sitting around laughing at me The scariest thing I ever saw a floating factory Harpooned and canned a whale while I could hardly breathe I was floating on a boat sailing towards a star Thinking about you all the time wondering where you are The prettiest thing I ever saw smiling back at me While we were just swimming around living wild and free There comes a time in all our lives when we must make it right There isn't any time for games or curling up with fright I don't want to hear no or maybe or even that you might Even when all our problems seem so out of sight Just Because you don't think it's gonna affect you Doesn't mean that it won't or that its going too. Someday the whales will stop to sing and then what will we do I know i'm just one voice, but I know it's true
