Song of the Whales

Deep blue whispers they rise and fall Echoes in the silence of the ocean's hall Salt and shadow dance in the waves A hymn of the ancient A song that saves Oh the whales they sing they call they cry Their voices like stars in a midnight sky A melody that bends but never breaks The song of the whales The song it takes The water hums like a broken dream Ripples carry secrets under the stream Do they mourn the past Or the days ahead Do they sing for life Or for what's been said They speak in tones we’ll never know A language where the silence grows Each note a story Each pause a prayer The song of the whales It lingers there Oh the whales they sing they call they cry Their voices like stars in a midnight sky A melody that bends but never breaks The song of the whales The song it takes And when the oceans quiet The song remains A phantom echo in the endless plains The whales still sing Through time they glide Their voices forever An eternal tide
