Ocean's Melody
She was created by God
Before Adam walked the earth
dolphins, sharks and cod
have dwelled in her since birth
Home to many specimen
whom provoke adrenaline
an adventure for many:
Emile Gagnan and Cousteau
written about by others,
even Edgar Allen Poe
Her depths are filled with secrets
Kept them well, she has
The lives she's stolen plummets
since the beginning of time has passed
She's every pigment of the rainbow
her surface is regarded as blue, though,
beneath her bosom, hues galore
corals, crabs and fish and whales
Her beauty is everywhere, take a look
follow their bubbles, leading like trails
Be still, and listen carefully
those fish are singing her song
You can hear the oceans melody
playing all day long
Her children were born knowing all the words
More beautiful, more uniform, than all those singing birds
But why is it so quiet?
It's funny that you've asked
Mankind has abused her
to toss away his trash
So what is her song about?
Listen close and you'll see
her time is beginning to run out
she's whimpering "save me"
Remember, the ocean is our friend
Her waters never change from the beginning 'til her end
nor does her gifts to meet our needs
Her waters are not a dump!
We must take care of her!
To keep our seafood plump!
