Listen to Ocean
Echoes of a million seashells
For ever it's in motion
Moving to a strange and unwritten music
That's played eternally
The sound of the seagull's strangled cry
Her wings so caught up she cannot fly
And plastic bags go sailing by
In an ocean that's starting to die
Shark fins hacked off to make soups
Whales confused by the sound of boats
Trawling nets that sweep away
All life that lies in their way
Listen to Ocean
Echoes of a million seashells
For ever it's in motion
Moving to a strange and unwritten music
That's played eternally
Flushing down all our chemicals
Bottles cosmetic and medical
Toxic waste and thick crude oil
Make our seas one big toilet bowl
Coral reefs are now white and grey
Their rainbow colours bleached away
And life gets harder everyday
In a sea changed by you and me
Listen to Ocean
Echoes of a million seashells
For ever it's in motion
Moving to a strange and unwritten music
That's played eternally
Our toxic gases pollute the air
Making ocean acids much nastier
Soon shellfish will all crumble away
In a sea more poisoned each day
These beautiful oceans so full of life
Never resting both day and night
Are in a battle to stay alive
And we are the ones they must fight
Listen to Ocean
Echoes of a million seashells
For ever it's in motion
Moving to a strange and unwritten music
That's played eternally
