"IF WE DO NOTHING...

...IT'LL ALL BE GONE"

Meet Ta'Kaiya Blaney

Shallow waters I can’t see

Your clear waves lapping at my feet

The lifeless ocean, black not blue

I didn’t help, but deep down I knew

Shallow waters I used to see

Dolphins playing in front of me

The seaweed swaying keeping time

Tidal rhythms, laugh not cry

Oh-oh, Oh-oh

Why do tears fall from the sky

Oh-oh, Oh-oh

We giving up, please tell me why?

Remember the salty ocean breeze

Used to build castles on the beach

Mushing around in the summer heat

Now it’s just oil up to our knees

Bring back the days we used to care

When all of these troubles were not there

A cry for help, this is my song

If we do nothing, it’ll all be gone

In shallow waters I can’t see

The wondrous life God created to be

The tankers and pipelines keep coming through

I turned my head and so did you

Come with me to the emerald sea

Where black gold spills into my ocean dream
Nothing ever found, no life is around
It’s just the sound of morning in the air
Silence everywhere
