Coral Grief

Oh No! Oh No!
Our whole ocean is in doubt
Oh No! Oh No!
If we want to save our precious land, we can’t just weave our way out
The sand feels like coral crushing under my feet
I sit in the water and take a seat
By now, I can see the coral reef
But all I can feel is a deep, deep grief
We should all be weeping with woe
Because destroying our reefs is all we really know
But we can save this land, hand in hand
And save our world, strand by strand
Our precious, precious coral demand
Oh No! Oh No!
We are wasting hour after hour
Oh No! Oh No!
Otherwise our oceans will turn sour
By now we are all filled with a deep, deep coral grief
What have we done to our coral reefs?
