whales dance, polar bears prance
for the people say no, no way, no drills in the open sea today
ocean beings and you and me, can celebrate this victory
for these sweet blue waters, and its wild water families
reborn over the waters, the elemental air,
blows onto the land to us, makes our skies more fair
future life and you and me, can celebrate this victory
for these sweet ocean waters, and earth’s many families
reborn over the waters, the waters crystalline,
flows onto the land to us, makes our shores so fine
so human babies coo, and wildlife babies, do as you do
and my lungs, and your blood, know its better too
governments do change, so we keep a careful watch
greed might say again yes way, to drill baby drill today
but now the people say no, no way, no drills in the oceans today
so seals dance, penguins prance

update: Darn, the federal court may be over ruled.
I hope that “our nation says no way” or “we the people say no way” will replace the lyric “the federal court said no way”.
Songwriters and eco music fans, wanna help me finish this other arctic protection songs? Co-write or sponsor this song.
All everyone, also support the EarthJustice legal teams that are working to protect the arctic.
For the life, Stele
