O'Keefe
Was I dreaming?
I heard the great whales crying
Saying, Brother, Brother
We are dying
Taiyo no komodo tachi
Minna-de kujira-sukuo
(Children of the Sun
Help us save the whales)
Once upon a time
Has it really been that long?
Their voices filled the seas
With the beauty of their songs
But Life's beauty
Is a very precious thing
Like the snowflake in the winter
Like the blossom in the spring
Brothers, must we drive them
From the Wheel of Life
With our harpoon
And our flensing knife
On the Wheel of Life
We all must find
That nothing is that far ahead
Or that far behind
In the end will it be said
That God made great whales live
Man made great whales dead?
Taiyo no komodo tachi
Minna-de kujira-sukuo
(Children of the Sun
Help us save the whales)
