WHAT ARE WE DOING?

What are we doing you and me?
Why are we killing the creatures of the sea?
Our oceans are dying because of our waste
Plastics of all kinds we have discarded in haste

Being swallowed by fish and mammals alike
It's a terrible thing we're doing...

SO FEW OF US WILL LEARN

So many of our youths go out
So few come home again

So few of them survive to grow
So few will see the dawning light

So...

Day by day, our planets dying
To save it, were not even trying
...

MUST STAY IN THE RACE

Greed, selfishness and the need for speed

Must keep up, must stay in the race
Must stay ahead, must keep up the pace
No time for the threat to the human-race
Must get more money, must work, must earn

Must...

WHAT HAVE WE DONE?

Oh no! what have we done?
To the world's oceans every one
All the sea creatures are paying a terrible price
This wonderful world will be a far lesser place

Some of the most beautiful creatures ever created
Are on the brink of being decimated
...
