Calm Canary of the Arctic Sea Lyrics by Marian McLaughlin

Spirit House

0

A celebration!
For a cetacean
Calm canary of the Arctic Sea
Has learnt to speak
Through imitation!
Let us rejoice
A sentient thing
Has mimicked the voice
Of a human being
Calm canary of the Arctic Sea
Front and center of a media frenzy
The age-old question
That leaves us restless
And constantly, and constantly
And constantly guessing
And pushed man to endlessly seek
For consciousness that's beyond our reach
Is, do you reckon?
Is there life on Mars
Or beyond the stars
In this galaxy of ours?
Well it breaks my heart
Well it breaks my heart
Well it breaks my heart
Well it breaks my heart into a thousand pieces
The way we treat countless species
On this planet that we call Earth
Our home, our Earth
By birth our rights have wiped out
More than we will ever know
Well a simple start
Well a simple start
Well a simple start
Is the archetypical dodo
Dodo, dodo, don't go
Don't go, don't go
May all who've passed
And are deceased
May you rest in peace
And in our memories
And before the disaster does increase
May we remember that we as well our beasts
We are beasts
Resuscitation
Before extinction or extermination
Of any more creation
Calm canary of the Arctic Sea
Interpreter ‘tween the creature world
And humanity
Calm canary of the Arctic Sea
Speak once more, I implore
Calm canary of the Arctic Sea
What on Earth have we done to thee?
