Before Their Song Goes Pale

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

Deep blue water where the giants roam

I hear a song that's calling me home

Forty tons of wonder in the wave

Every heartbeat something we should save

Their voices travel for a thousand miles

Through the silence and the silver tides

I was standing on the shore that day

When a mother sang her child away

Pre-Chorus

Hear them breathing

Hear them calling

Through the fog and through the falling

Chorus

Save the whales

Save the whales

Every fin and every tail

Save the whales

Save the whales

Before their song grows pale

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

Humpback rising like a moonlit ghost

Breach so high you'd think you're seeing most

But the ocean's getting warmer now

And the quiet's getting louder somehow

Plastic floating where the kelp should be

Little ones forgetting how to be free

I'm just one small voice among the foam

But I'll sing until they're safe at home

Pre-Chorus

Hear them breathing

Hear them calling

Every ripple softly falling

Chorus

Save the whales

Save the whales

Every fin and every tail

Save the whales

Save the whales

Before their song grows pale

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Bridge

If you listen close enough tonight

You can hear them in the moonlight

Singing something that we almost knew

A melody of me and you

And the waves will carry what we say

To the ones who swim away

Chorus

Save the whales

Save the whales

Every fin and every tail

Save the whales

Save the whales

Before their song grows pale

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Outro

Save them

Save them

Mm-hmm

Save them
