Ocean of Tears

I am calling, can you hear me?
I am crying, can you see me?
I am searching, can you find me?
As I've searched now for ten years with no reply.
I remember one gray Antarctic day,
I lost my mother whilst fleeing from a killer ship
An explosion then hearing her last agony
As she disappeared in a spreading sea of red.
I am calling, can you hear me?
I am crying, can you see me?
I am searching, can you find me?
As I've searched now for ten years with no reply.
I have swum beneath the ice and roamed across the sea,
I have sung far reaching songs you could not hear,
But in case I'm not the only one who's left alive,
I have to go on searching till I die.
Perhaps I'm not the last, I may never know,
If another whale sings a song like mine.
Who are these that come destroying us without a cause?
I did not believe in demons till today.
Oh take me far away, to where my friends are now,
In the ice-blue sea, where the sea lions play
I recall those days, there were others then,
We were few but I was not alone.
Will I ever see one of my own kind again?
If I never see one of my own kind again,
When I'm gone from this world we will all be gone,
And you can dance on the ocean of our tears.
