shaina taub - whales in the hudson lyrics
[verse 1]
there used to be an island by the river
a forest full of fauna running wild
the people loved the land
and they tended it by hand
every living thing was
nature’s child
[pre+chorus 1]
you could sit beneath a sycamore
oysters sh+lls collecting at your feet
on the white sand beach
we now know as west 42nd street
[chorus 1]
watching all the whales in the hudson
from the river to the sea
what majestic company
yes, there were whales in thе hudson
imagine whales in the hudson
would it feel likе a time machine?
with the water sparkling clean
if we saw whales in the hudson
[verse 2]
now the only whale in town
is in the museum
they built a landfill where hills used to be
the forest that remains
is high rises and cranes
harboring debris of centuries
[pre+chorus 2]
the big apple’s gotten rotten
but there’s a seed of something at the core
’cause we’re witnessing miracles
right here on the jerseys shore
[chorus 2]
we’re really seeing whales in the hudson
yes, they’re coming back again
like they used to way back when
look and see whales in the hudson
whales in the hudson
the less we throw into the sea
the more they’re finally breathing free
we can see whales in the hudson
[bridge]
this dream that seemed impossible
is coming true
a natural future could still be
in our stars
if we only feed the world fresh air
it would have a prayer
[chorus 3]
whales in the hudson
whales in the hudson
room for every bird and bee
and for all humanity
can’t you see whales in the hudson?
[outro]
whales in the hudson
whales in the hudson
whales in the hudson
whales in the hudson
whales in the hudson
whales in the hudson
